Maria Merryweather returns to Moonacre Manor with her granddaughter Rose to escape the horrors of the first world war bombings in London. The magical qualities of Moonacre Valley are rediscovered as Rose meets Wrolf, who is more lion than dog, and sees the little white horse, an entrancing unicorn. Rose soon discovers that the Merryweathers' old foes, the de Noir clan, are once more spreading darkness and fear through the Valley under the influence of Hugo de Noir. With the help of her new friend, Devin, and a variety of animal companions can Rose uncover the mystery of the Silver Moth aeroplane, rescue a young woman and her baby, and help an unexpected kindred spirit, William de Noir? Beautiful, thrilling, and magical, The Silver Moth, returns to the fantasy world of the bestselling timeless classic The Little White Horse.

Reviews
"The world of the white horse shines out all the brighter against the dark backdrop of war. What a pleasure to return to Moonacre and find a new Moon Princess. Set during the events of the First World War, an escape into the wonderful world of rose gardens, ruins, dark forests and gypsy encampments is all the more necessary. A treat for new and old fans of Goudge's story. Carol Lefevre clearly knows and loves the original and has brought many of the same elements into her own weaving of the tale, but adding a real-world level that gives Moonacre new appeal." -- Julia Golding, author of The Diamond of Drury Lane
