The Derby Pair is led by Black Gold — Marguerite Henry's 1957 telling of the small, spirited Thoroughbred who won the 1924 Kentucky Derby, illustrated by Wesley Dennis, the same team behind Misty of Chincoteague. If you were a horse kid, you already know. Beneath him sits A House of Your Own from 1925 — a full century old, household wisdom from when keeping a home was a formal art.
Stack them, style them, or actually read them — the Henry holds up.
