1997 marks the 50th anniversary of Misty of Chincoteague, the Newbery Honor-winning book that launched Marguerite Henry's career. Now one of America's most revered children's authors, Ms. Henry is still writing. She has gathered an enormous following, and has received innumerable awards, including another Newbery Honor in 1954 for Justin Morgan Had a Horse, and the Newbery Medal in 1948 for King of the Wind. Ms. Henry's books appeal not only to horse-lovers, but to all children.We honor the Golden Anniversary of Ms. Henry's breakthrough novel with this beautiful, cloth-bound, slip-cased edition, limited to 250 copies, and signed by the author. Sure to delight the many collectors of Ms. Henry's work, this is a fitting tribute to one of our best-loved authors.
