King of the Wind: The Story of the Godolphin Arabian by Marguerite Henry. Henry, has written many books about horses. I'm not what you would call a horse book lover, however, this is a lovely book . King of the Wind was a Newbery Medal Winner. I wish I could put a picture of the cover of the book, like my lovely Jane can. Here is a short synopsis of the book.
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.
