Book Cover & Preview Text
Nimue loved riding her painted pony Cloud. She knew she only had an hour before the school bus arrived so she saddled up quickly and headed out for the trails. Cloud picked up his step as they entered the wood. He loved adventure. "Easy boy," spoke Nimue softly as she sat up in the saddle. "I know, I'm excited too." She patted the pony softly on his neck.
Nimue had a special way with animals. The pony settled at her soft touch. As they rode on, Nimue did not stop talking, to the pony, to the birds, to the trees, and all living things. An only child, who walked with a limp, this was her world. Riding her pony made her feel strong. The real world was not kind to her. Children teased her because she talked to animals and trees and walked different from them. Her parents scolded her for believing in magic and what they termed a fantasy world.
