RIDER BY NIGHT

Jenny Tornquist, a thirteen-year-old Swedish child, feels delight without bounds when she inherits a horse of her own. But her pleasure is soon matched by concern when the horse appears to be frequently lethargic and shows a curious preference for all red objects. Jonny unravels the mystery in a story rich in Swedish detail, and with engrossing accounts of friendship and jealousy. A well rounded story told with considerable charm by the author of The Mysterious Schoolmaster.
