Book Reviews of King of the Wind: The Story of the Godolphin Arabian
Book Review: This is the book that made a reader out of me...
Summary: 5 Stars
I first read this book in the third grade. Actually, my teacher was reading it to our class and every day I could not wait for the reading circle to find out what would happen to Agba and Sham. Finally, I went to the library and checked the book out for myself so that I would not have to wait . Thank you Mrs. Van Vechten, wherever you are. This book was the beginning of a life time love affair with books. I cried, I laughed, I imagined myself there. I learned about other cultures and customs, I learned about tolerance, compassion , cruelty and kindness and most importantly about love and friendship and I have never forgotten how it felt. Both my children were introduced to reading with this wonderful book. My children are grown now but a copy still rests in my library waiting for my future grandchildren. I cannot wait to cuddle up with them and pass this treasure on.
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.
