About this listen

Fresh new look for this bestselling book & tape featuring the Smarties prizewinner of 1995.

It’s Christmas, but Irina’s family don’t have enough money to buy her the present she wants. Then Irina sees the wooden horse in the junk shop window and all she wants is to take it home with her. Irina is sad and lonely and knows that the little horse is lonely too. But what Irina doesn’t know is that this dusty little horse with the tattered mane is really an enchanted horse who comes to life and takes Irina on magical journeys.

Critic reviews

“Tender and touching… utterly enchanting” Michael Morpurgo

‘A rare find… you need look no further for the perfect storybook for an early reader’

I liked it when the blind man gave Bella the horse, it was kind. I didn't like it when the blind man told the scary stories of Black Jack. I would recommend this book for children aged 8+ years of age.

After searching for the same audio of this book from my childhood I finally found it here. It's exactly the same as the one I had as a child inckudong the gorgeous haunting music too. Absolutely thrilled I can now share this with my own little girl now.
