Memory like a thing with holes in

[sam_t]

Someone on my flist posted recently about a children's book that is going to be turned into a film. Can I remember who posted it, when they posted it, or even what the book was? No. I think there was a horse in the title, and various commenters read the book as children, suggesting that it isn't a recent publication, but that's as far as I've got. Anyone else remember?

Elizabeth Goudge, The Little White Horse

Yes, that was it, thank you! Was it you who posted about it?

I posted about it, about a week ago. Were you interested in knowing which of the forthcoming movies it was?

Thanks! No, I'd just seen a book I thought might be the same one being sold online, second hand, and thought I remembered one of the commenters saying it was difficult to get hold of. I wanted to see whether there was someone who was particularly looking out for a copy so that I could tell them if so. The comment I'd remembered turns out to be about Goudge's other books, though, so I might just buy it for myself.

I learned of the movie's existence in the first place from the latest reissue of The Little White Horse, under the movie title, so I know The Secret of Moonacre-the-book is easy to get hold of right now.

Your comment, however, is a good reminder to take coth up on her offer to loan them to me!
