Synopses & Reviews
Throughout recorded history, the horse has played many roles in human life. He has been man's comrade-in-arms in war, his servant in work, his teammate in sports, his inspiration in art. With such a tradition, small wonder that there exists a rich literature of horsemanship. The Greatest Horse Stories Every Told gathers the most memorable essays, articles, short fiction, and poetry ever written about the bond between humans and horses. It covers a wide range of equestrian pursuits: in addition to racing and hunting, there are dressage, cutting, draft horses, Western ranch work, show jumping, driving, and several aspects of pleasure riding and of training the horse and rider. Heartwarming, adventurous, profound, and funny, this anthology presents a panoramic view of everything that illuminates our fascination, and captivation, with horses. (6 x 9, 276 pages)
Review
"Every once in a while, a book publisher comes up with a great concept for a series of books that deserve more than superficial recognition. Such a series is "The Greatest (fill in the blank) Stories Ever Told", anthologies that should win places on many bedside tables. On the long winter nights that lie ahead, such stories make great reading." --T
