The Dark Horse Av Rumer Godden

A timeless children's classic about a Romani girl growing up in a hostile, close-knit village community.

Hailed 'a small masterpiece' by Spectator, this is Rumer Godden's unforgettable evocation of India and of childhood, of innocence and experience.

Rumer Godden's classic wartime love story is a dramatic tale that was the basis for the film Enchantment starring David Niven and Teresa Wright.

From the esteemed author of Black Narcissus and The River, comes another captivating classic novel about a poor girl striving to create beauty among the bombsites of postwar London.
