Delight and a Treasure for the Horse Lover
This story about the noble Arabian horse and a journey in Arabia from a time long gone is wonderful. It was a treasure to read under the bed covers late at night as a young girl--and just as delightful many years later as a grandmother. (I do plan to pass the book on to my horse-loving granddaughter.) If you love horses and the breathtaking beauty and spirit of the Arabian one, you will enjoy this no matter the age. There's much to be learned about a land that bred and used such a horse to carry warriors. This book provides that with beautiful language and images. I absolutely recommend this book.
