A dandy story for all horse lovers and a worthy rival to Marguerite Henry's King of the Wind. Ms. Henry based her story on this very book, written in 1846 by French author and sportsman Eugene Sue. Here now is Alex de Jonge's immensely readable translation of the original tale--an imaginative mixture of fact and legend recreating the life of the Godolphin Arabian and his constant companion, Grimalkin the cat.

Horse lover's review Feb 06, 2007 This is a facinating account of the origins of the thorobred horse. It recounts the Goldolphin Arabian's birth and takes you on a exotic trip through history. Pictures are vidid in the descriptions of the era and the excitement of those times.
I have always been intrigued by the horse and even more so after reading this great book.
