Dear Fred

By K.M. Peyton

Newmarket in the 1880s: Laura's heart turned over with adoration whenever she caught a glimpse of Fred Archer - dear Fred - the tall, slender young jockey who won the Derby five times and became an idol over a century ago. To Laura's parents, her passionate hero-worship was an embarrassment. The only people who understood her feelings were Uncle Harry and his strange protege, Tiger, a runaway boy with a lithe body and fiery nature who kissed Laura secretly behind the stable door.

fantastic book!

One of K.M. Peyton's best, which is saying something. A long and satisfying read, coming-of-age, believable and enthralling. A must for anyone.
