The Ballad of the White Horse is a poem by G. K. Chesterton about the idealized exploits of the Saxon King Alfred the Great. Written in ballad form, the work is usually considered one of the last great traditional epic poems ever written in the English language. The poem narrates how Alfred was able to defeat the invading Danes at the Battle of Ethandun under the auspices of God working through the agency of the Virgin Mary. In addition to being a narration of Alfred's military and political accomplishments, it is also considered a Catholic allegory. Chesterton incorporates a significant amount of philosophy into the basic structure of the story. Aeterna Press

A post-apocalyptic thriller chronicling one woman's quest to nurture those she holds dear against the backdrop of a shockingly changed world When I wake the world is gone. Only fragments remain. And then I remember . . . Before: Her life may have taken a couple of wrong turns but Zoe is trying to make the best of what she has. A part-time cleaning job to pay for college, a weekly appointment with her therapist to straighten out the problems in her life. The same problems that any thirty-year-old would have. Nothing major. Nothing life-threatening. A few bad dream, that's all. After: The only thought that remains is survival. Survival in a desolate, post-apocalyptic world. For herself. For her unborn baby. But help is scarce in a world where untold horrors exist around every corner, where food and water are in desperately short supply, and the only chance of happiness is half a world away. Adams has an excellent sense of timing, delivering gasp-inducing moments that punctuate her nightmare with verve. But it's Zoe's clear-eyed sense of self-preservation that will keep readers waiting for Adams' follow-up.- Kirkus

Based on a real-life revelational experience that is described in the substantial “Afterword” section, The White Horse teaches that one should not judge another by superficial characteristics. In a rural setting whose exact time and setting are purposely undefined, a family of four young children and their parents rejects a horse because of his skin color. The horse initially resigns himself to his outcast status, but when the children find themselves in danger, he emerges as a confident rescuer. The horse’s heroic act proves to the family, and to the horse, himself, that their preconceived prejudices about him were, for many reasons, entirely wrong.

This is the story of Cole - a little white horse - and Sally, the girl who loved him. The story starts with how they met, how they grew to love each other, and then how they managed to get through a rather scary adventure together. The story comes to an end - as all stories do - but Sally and Cole were both better for having met. Although this is only a story, it is inspired by a real little girl and a real little horse. That girl, who is not little anymore, is Alexa Kullberg. And the little white horse really is Cole.

When Nan, Robert, Timothy, and Betsy's father went off to explore in Egypt, he left the children with their grandmother who lived in the English countryside. Unfortunately she did not much like children, much less their dog, Absalom. So the children ran away to stay with their Uncle Ambrose, an eccentric, strict, and loveable retired school teacher who was determined to give them an Education, but in addition to Greek, Latin, and Literature, the Linnet children learned much more — about nature and magic, the power of the past and Pan, and, of course, the importance of the bees. They used their knowledge to find the lost Valerians, undo some very wicked, ancient spells, and reunite a divided family. The word "enchanting" is overused, but in this case it applies.
