>118 Lamplight- Since you're in to racehorses, just wondering if you have read the children's book King of the Wind. As a child, I cried and cried and as an adult, re-read it with trepidation. And because of this, didn't read Sea Bisquit, but got up enough gumption to see the acclaimed movie. In ...

... one of them. Also read all of the books written by Margurite Henry & illustrated by Wesley Dennis including King of the Wind which won the Newberry Medal in 1949. They were not, technically, a series of course. They also did Justin Morgan had a Horse, Misty of Chincoteague ...

King of the Wind and Misty of Chincoteague. There is just something about a 10 year old girl and a horse. I never owned one, but I wanted one so badly, and read every horse book I could get my grubby paws on. These two were some of the first i ever read, and I remember them with a great ...

... book shows. I started with the books of hers that I had read as a child (I am desperately seeking, still, an A copy of King of the Wind, which was actually my favorite). One of my clearest memories of reading her books (and I must have been about 8 years old) is flipping through the Album ...

my favorite horse books are Black stallion by walter farley i also like black beauty and king of the wind these are some really great books.

... be. The Thread that Binds the Bones is another goodie. Classics: All Creatures Great and Small, Nop's Trials, King of the Wind or anything by Marguerite Henry, for your animal lovers. They're maybe less well known than Black Beauty or the Black Stallion. Maybe some Zane G ...

Seven Tears into the Sea by Terri Farley Out of the fog by Clarissa Ross King of the Wind by Marguerite Henry Fire Bringer by David Clement-Davies Snow by Tracy Lynn

... the opposite problem. The first few chapters were slow going, but I was well rewarded by the rest of the book. I bought King of the Wind, but haven't read it yet, so I don't know how that will stand up to the rest of the books. And you know my view of Misty's Twilight. I personally can't ...
