A dandy story for all horse lovers and worthy rival to Marguerite Henry's enormously successful King of the Wind .

Here now is Alex de Jonge's immensely readable translation of the original tale—an imaginative mixture of fact and legend recreating the life of the Godolphin Arabian and his constant companion, Grimalkin the cat.
