X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>In the realm of children&rsquo\;s literatu
 re\, Marguerite Henry reigned as the unofficial queen of horse books from 
 the 1940s until her death in 1997. The resident of nearby Wayne\, Illinois
  rose to prominence with her 1947 title\,&nbsp\;Misty of Chincoteague\,&nb
 sp\;which tells the story of Virginia&rsquo\;s wild Chincoteague Ponies an
 d their annual swim to Chincoteague Island\, an event that draws thousands
  of visitors every year. Still widely read\,&nbsp\;Misty of Chincoteague&n
 bsp\;has sold more than a million copies\, inspired the creation of Misty 
 and Stormy (her foal) Breyer horse models\, and a 1961&nbsp\;Misty&nbsp\;f
 ilm produced by 20th Century Fox.<br />Local author Susan Friedland&rsquo\
 ;s Marguerite Henry biography &ldquo\;Marguerite\, Misty and Me&rdquo\; sh
 ines a light on the previously hidden history of Henry\, whose influence i
 s still strong\, nearly thirty years after her death. From a kayak in the 
 waves off Chincoteague Island\, to an underground archive at the Universit
 y of Minnesota\, Friedland unearthed clues about Henry's personal life\, r
 iding and writing practices which she will share in her presentation. Join
  Friedland as she traces the background of the Newbery Medal-winning autho
 r and explores Henry&rsquo\;s lasting legacy. Celebrate Marguerite Henry\,
  the trailblazing female writer whose unforgettable horse stories have bro
 ught joy to generations of readers. <br />The author will sign books and w
 ill have books for sale.</p>\nhttps://huntley.libnet.info/event/10340616
