King of the Wind: The Story of the Godolphin Arabian
Description
Born a prince among horses, the golden stallion Sham possessed a speed as legendary as his lineage, yet his life was marked by both fortune and misfortune. This is the captivating tale of Sham, the Godolphin Arabian, and his loyal companion, the stable boy Agba, as they journey from the exotic sands of the Sahara to the opulent courts of France and the rolling hills of England. Their adventures unfold against a backdrop of prejudice and admiration, exploring themes of destiny, perseverance, and the enduring power of a noble spirit. Marguerite Henry masterfully brings to life the story of a horse whose bloodline would forever shape the world of racing, cementing his place as a true king of the wind.
