Customer Reviews

Great book. Great author

Justin Morgan Had a Horse is but one of many horse stories brought to life by Marguerite Henry. She has(had?) a skill for creating a fictionalized history based on a true set of events. This book is truly compelling, as is Black Gold, and others of her books. To some the style is dated. To our youth, I doubt it. This book seems timeless.

Great Book

Some of the vocabulary is a bit old-fashioned, but my daughter and I enjoyed this book. It is also a great glimpse into early American life.

This is one of Marguerite Henry's best books!

Justin Morgan Had A Horse is about a Singing Master and one of his students. Of all of her books this is one of her best books I've read, and I've read almost all of her books
