A donation to the Friends of the Library bookstore, I nabbed it first. Classic Marguerite Henry -- lots of interesting horse lore and great horse illustrations, with a fairly weak story tying it all together. I would have liked to spend more of the book at the harness races, and less at a sanitarium with our young hero Gibson White, who is ailing with some mysterious illness that we never get to hear about (maybe TB?). A true story with an exciting ending. ( ) I love, love, love this book! A definite favorite as a teen, all the more so because it was based on a true story (or two) - being obsessed with horses at that age also helped quite a bit. Two stories in one - Gibson's harness-racing horse, Rosalind, and the legendary horse Hambletonian, the "Father of the American Trotter". Good horse-lover's book... geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
As he learns about the famous Hambletonian, sire of the American trotter, young Gib White dreams of some day having his own filly become a champion trotter. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
