Free reading this week:

The Silver Brumby, Silver Brumby's Daughter and Silver Brumby's Kingdom by Elyne Mitchell - lovely, well-written books set in the Australian Alps. Moozle loves them - they have just the right mix of nature, wild horses and adventure to satisfy her.

"It will not go out of my mind that if we pass this post and lantern either we shall find strange adventures or else some great changes of our fortunes."
