A Pictorial Life Story of Misty
by Marguerite HenryFrom the Book Jacket: I first met Misty of Chincoteague when she was six days old. It was love at sight. Grandpa Beebe promised to send her to Mole Meadow, in Illinois, to help me write a book about her. "But," he insisted, "the Phantom's got to nurse her for four months. Takin' colts away from their mas afore they're weaned makes 'em spoilt and ornery." Those four months of waiting dragged, and they flew. News of a wild pony coming from an island out in the Atlantic Ocean caused great excitement. Neighbor children appeared as if by magic. They all wanted to help get her stable ready. Together we dug up the old dirt floor, brought in fresh clean earth, scrubbed and whitewashed the walls. In weary moments this snapshot tacked to the stable door held our attention. It set us daydreaming and wondering how we could ever communicate to our friends the uniqueness of the pony we'd soon be caring for.
