Purchase options and add-ons

Throughout recorded history, the horse has played many roles in human life. He has been man's partner in war, his servant in work, his teammate in sports, his inspiration in art. So it is only natural that literature includes many masterpieces about horses and horsemanship.
The Greatest Horse Stories Ever Told gathers together the best of the equestrian genre. It includes stories and articles by Pulitzer Prize-winners Red Smith, Maxine Kumin, and Jane Smiley, and tales by jockey-turned-mystery novelist Dick Francis and veterinarian-turned-writer James Herriot. Here also are reflections on fox hunting by Steven Budiansky and Anthony Trollope; a profile of Buck Brannaman, the inspiration for The Horse Whisperer; an inspirational piece from Ellie Phayer, and a story about the Spanish Riding School's dancing white horses by Felix Salten (author of Bambi), as well as writing from Tom McGuane, Bill Barich, humorist Cooky McClung, and classic western authors Will James and Zane Grey.
Heartwarming, adventurous, profound, and funny, this anthology is a treasure trove that includes favorite writers and little-known or long-forgotten gems, illuminating our fascination-and captivation-with horses.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Every once in a while, a book publisher comes up with a great concept for a series of books that deserve more than superficial recognition. Such a series is "THE GREATEST (fill in the blank) STORIES EVER TOLD", anthologies that should win places on many bedside tables. On the long winter nights that lie ahead, such stories make great reading." --The Lexington County Chronicle

4.0 out of 5 stars "Horsey People"
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2013

A nice collection of stories, these are more about the poeple involved with horses, thus "horsey people," than about horses, which was a bit of a disappointment, but all are well written by fine writers, so they are good stories regardless their focus, and well worth reading for their literary merit.

4.0 out of 5 stars varied stories about horses

I enjoyed reading the various stories. Some were much more interesting to me than others. I'm sure other people would feel the same, but select other stories as favorites. This really covered the ground in terms of horse careers.

I found this book only of mild interest and feel that there are a lot more interesting stories about horses that could have been used.
