A lovely gift idea for Horse lovers, BFF’s & Tweens
Over Hill n’ Dale was written by Virginia Cresswell when she was just a teenager. However, she kept the book hidden until she had a daughter of her own many years later.
Her daughter, Cynthia Brewster-Keating of Aiken, South Carolina asked her mother why she never published the book and her mom expressed her fear that the book might not be embraced.
Virginia gave Cynthia a copy of the book but once again, put the original, hand painted manuscript back into hiding, where it stayed until many years later. After Virginia’s death in 2009, Cynthia rediscovered the original manuscript with the hand painted pages.
Whitehall Publishing is proud to publish this fun story about two tween girls who love horses, are BFF’s and share adventures together. The story is very similar to the true story of Virginia and Cynthia as both were horse crazy, both shared their love of riding with each other and both shared adventures together!
Because Cynthia participated in the editing of the book, she is listed as the co-author along with her mom. This is a project filled with love in which a daughter brought her mother’s dream into a reality 40+ years after it was originally written. We were able to enhance the original artwork within the book so it looks just like Virginia painted them yesterday!

I earned my A.B in Physics from Harvard/Radcliffe in 1963, and my PhD in Geophysics from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 1970. As my dissertation was on ice fog (which isn’t found just anywhere) I stayed at the University of Alaska’s Geophysical Institute until I retired in 1998. (Yes, it was an early retirement, but I was having vision problems at the time and could not drive to work reliably.) I still live in Alaska, in a suburb of Fairbanks called North Pole.
