I'm indulging myself by reviewing a book given to me by my great-Aunt which - with the others in the trilogy - I have read and re-read throughout the years - too many to reveal. The adult emotions were difficult for a 7 year old but then and now, I find It is the most wonderful portrayal of a Mid-West farming family in the thirties. The youngest son, struggling to understand the world, is given a foal for his birthday and from this stems a mixture of joy and sorrow. A definite must for anyone who relishes stories filled with every kind of emotion.
