Descrizione libro Softcover. Condizione: new. Dennis, Wesley (illustratore). Review"A book to delight all horse lovers."-- Horn BookProduct DescriptionHe was named "Sham" for the sun, this golden-red stallion born in the Sultan of Morocco's stone stables. Upon his heel was a small white spot, the symbol of speed. But on his chest was the symbol of misfortune. Although he was swift as the desert winds, Sham's pedigree would be scorned all his life by cruel masters and owners.This is the classic story of Sham and his friend, the stable boy Agba. their adventures take them from the sands of the Sahara. to the royal courts of France, and finally to the green pastures and stately homes of England. For Sham was the renowned Godolphin Arabian, whose blood flows through the veins of almost very superior thoroughbred. Sham's speed -- like his story -- has become legendary.About the AuthorMarguerite Henry was the beloved author of such classic horse stories as King of the Wind; Misty of Chincoteague; and Stormy, Mistys Foal, all of which are available in Aladdin paperback editions.Wesley Dennis was best known for his illustrations in collaboration with author Marguerite Henry.

All rights reserved.King of the WindThe Story of the Godolphin ArabianBy Marguerite Henry Aladdin PaperbacksCopyright 2006 Marguerite HenryAll right reserved.ISBN: 9781416927860ExcerptThat same fair summer's day, Sham was lying in his stall at the Red Lion. He nolonger needed to be shackled. No one feared him anymore. He was too weak to kickand charge.For weeks he had lived in a kind of daze, willing to lie on his bed of straw andlet the world go on about him. Over the half door of his stall he could hear therattle of pewter cups in the inn and listen to the comings and goings of horsesand journeymen. He caught the mingled smell of dust and sweat when the horsescame in. He caught the rain smells and heard the first drops beat out a mournfulmedley on the roof over his head. He snuffed the winds. But he was no longer apart of the smells and the sounds.Mister Williams shook his head sadly every time he passed Sham's stall. "Thatthere 'orse, 'e's got a gnawin' pull inside 'im. 'E's missin' that boy."On this summer's afternoon the sound made by Mistress Williams banging her potsand pans was suddenly muffled by the thunder of hooves and the rumble of wheels.Lying half-awake, half-asleep, Sham heard the other horses in their stalls neigha greeting to the newcomers. He heard the high, scrabbling voice of MistressWilliams. Then a silence broken by many footsteps and the low laughter of agentle woman.The next thing he knew the door of his stall was thrown open, a feather-lightcreature was by his side, and a boy's slim brown fingers were stroking his neck.Sham touched Agba's cheek with his feelers, as if to make sure of him. Then anexcited whicker escaped him. He lipped the boy. He swiped his cheek with a greatpink tongue. He tasted the warm, salty tears. Then he neighed his happiness tothe whole wide world.Thrusting his forefeet in front of him, he struggled to his feet. Lying down wasno way to greet friends! He shuddered the straw from his coat as if to apologizefor his lack of grooming.A change came over him. He snorted at the half-circle of people about him, atthe handsome gentleman in wine-colored velvet, at the lady in silk and goldlace, at the innkeeper and his wife standing at a respectful distance.His eyes came back to Agba. "Let us be off!" he seemed to say. "Somewhere.Anywhere!"The Earl of Godolphin laughed in agreement. Then he exchanged a few quiet wordswith Mister Williams and the arrangements to buy Sham were quickly made. In notime at all Agba and Grimalkin were mounted on Sham, while a gathering of allthe chance droppers-in at the Red Lion gawped curiously at the coach-and-six,and at the hooded boy and the tiger cat who sat a well-mannered bay horse.Mister Williams' eyebrows were traveling up and down at a great rate.
