I loved these books so so much. Collected all of them, visited the island as a kid. I wrote Marguerite Henry a letter and she wrote me back, and my parents framed it. I didn't know Maureen had died, or that the ranch had burned down. God, how terribly sad.

I wrote Marguerite Henry all the time as a kid and she always answered me. I still have her letters. It was her book, "Mustang: Wild Spirit of the West" that inspired me to adopt a Mustang as an adult and Brighty of the Grand Canyon inspired me to get a miniature donkey.
