Mr. Summerhaye's Horse

By May Bermont

"Then his world is the mountainside, as he follows his mother, as they trot on the rocky ground. Then his world is the desert, the dust, the heat. Stay by me, his mother tells him, I shall keep you safe. Step into my hoofprints, you must not wander away. Not that he wants to. Everything is strange and alien to him. As the hours pass, as they travel, as the sun follows its course, the world around him changes and moves. Smells assail him from every side, some attractive, some menacing. A gerbil scuttles under his feet and he stops. The shadow of the bird has not left them. He does not like it."On a cold spring night in the Atlas Mountains, a chestnut mare gives birth to her foal. She teaches him how to survive in the Moroccan wilds and to beware of men. The foal grows up and learns the ways and rules of the animal kingdom as he runs free with his mother. Until one day, the men she so feared cross their path...From the dusty streets of Marrakech to the green fields of England, the foal will know many owners and many lives. Yet one thing he will never forget: the freedom that was once his. "Set in the 19th century and told from the point of view of a young horse, Mr. Summerhaye's Horse is an evocative and beautifully illustrated story."
