Ruth and the Blue Horse
Where Ruth used to live there were lots of different animals – ducks and hens and geese and goats. But in the new house there are only the family's seven cats, even the kittens have gone. It is very quiet and Ruth feels lonely. Then, out of the mist, comes the mysterious blue horse, with its amber eyes and glowing hooves; it seems to understand every word that Ruth says. But where does it come from and what does it want of her?
