ⓘ About Marguerite Henry
Marguerite Henry is a children’s author best known for her animal stories that for the most past are about horses. Henry was born in 1902 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as the youngest daughter of Anna and Louis Breithaupt.

Marguerite was very much interested in writing and books and by the time she was eleven she had sold her first article to a magazine. She also worked at the local library where she repaired books. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Misty Books series, Marguerite Henry has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
