Book Review: A Horse Lover's Delight!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you loved Black Beauty and My Friend Flicka, you'll adore King Of The Wind.
When I was in 4th grade my teacher read this book to the class. I loved the story so much I had to have the book for my own.
It's an exciting story set in Arabia about a stable boy and his devotion to his horse. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it.
Summary of King of the Wind: The Story of the Godolphin Arabian
He was named "Sham" for the sun, this golden-red stallion born in the Sultan of Morocco's stone stables. Upon his heel was a small white spot, the symbol of speed. But on his chest was the symbol of misfortune. Although he was swift as the desert winds, Sham's pedigree would be scorned all his life by cruel masters and owners.This is the classic story of Sham and his friend, the stable boy Agba. their adventures take them from the sands of the Sahara. to the royal courts of France, and finally to the green pastures and stately homes of England. For Sham was the renowned Godolphin Arabian, whose blood flows through the veins of almost very superior thoroughbred. Sham's speed -- like his story -- has become legendary.
