Summary: A YOUNG GIRL COMES OF AGE
Comment: Bessie Kobb was only 8 that summer, and her family was waiting for their father to recover from TB, but she loved some things outside her family: the kindneess of quiet, thoughtful Ben; the golden palomino, who danced to harmonica music; and dreaming about shopping at Rosie's country store for impractical things like Ladies'Gloves. Set in the rural calm of 1923, this short book captures one magical summer for a very young girl, as she encounters the hurried materialism of the summer visitors, who just can't understand the value of honest, hard work to achieve one's goals or loyalty to old friends. No one has the right to destroy her simple pleasures: the anticipation as she chooses her own penny candy, or the joy of dancing beside Pegasus, the most beautiful horse she had ever seen. And for sheer exhilaration, the thrill of "flying" off a short cliff using an umbrella! Yet tragedy strikes and she will never be the same, carefree child again. A simple tale about children--a quietly moving adventure of the human heart.
