Book Reviews of The Black Stallion
Book Review: The Black Stallion
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Black Stallion" is by far the most important book of my childhood. Captivating with its thrilling storyline, it catches every bit of imagination, excitement and wonder a girl or boy could have for horses and riding. It feels you are right there with the main character the whole breathless way. And, it teaches too. The reader devours knowledge about horses and riding, horse origins and breeds, their beauty and mystery. Importantly, it reinforces relationships between people and animals, and emphasizes the importance of various people's roles in our lives; mother, father, friend, mentor, etc. "The Black Stallion" transports a child(or adult), from their home to a completely different, exciting world where their wildest dreams come true. Farley does this in the most amazing fashion while still emphasizing the importance of following your passion by using self-reliance and persistence. To this day when asked what my favorite book is and I'm forced to cull down to just one, I'll name two anyway; this one along with my favorite "grown up" book.
Summary of The Black Stallion
THE SOLE SURVIVORS of a devastating shipwreck, Alec Ramsay and the Black Stallion must learn to rely on each other to survive. As a strong bond develops between them, Alec gains the trust of the magnificent beast and eventually the Black allows Alec to ride. Finally, they are rescued, but will Alec and the Black be allowed to stay together?Available in hardcover for the first time in a decade, this stunning facsimile of the original 1941 edition shows just how timeless this adventure classic is.
