l is a remarkably clever book,
made up OF a collection OF nine tales
about horses. the equine heroes belong
ing to widely variant types. 1t is one of
the best books OF its sort ever written,
and the achievement OF writing a good
animal book is not small in itself
II this book had appeared before The

However. it deserves TO be read by
everyone who loves a horse. While the
moral of most of the tales is plainly TO
be seen, that is because in the present
imperfect stage of humanity nobody can
write story about domestic animals
without pointing a moral to the people
who abuse them. Mr. Ford has TOO keen
a sense Of humor TO write the orthodox
tract. These stories are fun Of horse
nature. and human nature. some pathos.
