Kalliope's Review |
While most people will not have heard of this book or this author, it is perfect for the horse lovers among us. Hearing stories about Queen, a foal when we first meet and a seasoned leader of a herd by book's end, brings images of the wide open Alberta prairie to the mind's eye. So if you're looking for a treasure to charm your "hippophile" (no, not lover of hippopotamuses...but horses!), this is it! ~ Kalliope |

Short Book Summary |
Very little is known about this book, authored in 1922 by Canadian David Grew. Written as a tribute to a horse named Dora, the inspiration behind Queen (the mare in this story), you feel the authors sympathy for his horse, when observing the "strange, sad light in your eyes from dreaming of long departed, happy years of freedom on the plains." This book follows the majestic life of one horse that never lost her dream. |

Read Sample Paragraph |
"In the fall of the year, the farmers and ranchers of the northwest prairies of Canada release their horses for the winter. Strange as it may seem to those of us who shudder at the very thought of raging blizzards on the open plains, the horses that are left free to roam over unsheltered space and are obliged to dig down through feet of snow for their grass, not only survive the severest winters but are generally found fat and strong the next spring. And if, while you are out riding, you happen upon a group of these free horses, they will stare at you curiously until they begin to fear that you have come to gather them up and to take them back to the farm yard. Then with angry, defiant tossing of heads they will turn and gallop out of reach, going so fast that you will not see them for snow dust." |
