5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for kids who love horses, 19 Sep 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: King of the Wind (Hardcover)
I am now 32 years old, and this book remains vivid in my mind as one of my all-time childhood favorites. The story of the mute stable boy Agba and his travels with 'his' beloved horse Sham exposes young readers to a variety of cultures and stressses the value of faithfulness and loyalty without being at all preachy. Sham, sent as a gift from the Sultan of Morocco to the King of France, is mistreated during the voyage and arrives looking like an old nag instead of the young, well-bred Arab stallion he is. The king's rejection of the horse is the beginning of a new journey as Sham -- with Agba always there to care for him -- passes from one owner to another, eventually becoming "The Godolphin Arabian" one of the three founders of the Thoroughbred bred. This book is worth buying in the hardback form, especially if that means getting Wesley Dennis' gorgeous illustrations in color.

4.0 out of 5 stars A childhood favourite, 27 Dec 2004
By ChezzyD "chezzyd" (Swindon, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: King of the Wind (Paperback)
This was one of my favourite books as a child so I bought this just to see if it would be as good as I remembered. And it is. It is the charming story of a mute Arab stable boy and his love for a horse who possesses the marks of speed and of misfortune. The horse eventually becomes the Godolphin Arabian, sire of some of the best racehorses ever. Any young girl who is going through that 'horsey' phase that many of us do, will love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The King of the Wind will be my life long treasure, 2 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: King of the Wind (Paperback)
This book gave me much more than I have expected. I am truly grateful to be able to learn a lot about the greatest horse in the world GODOLPHIN ARABIAN. It is fascinating to see his great great decendants on the turf now in Japan. I am most pleased to have found out that my favourite horse himeself has Godlphin Arabian's blood in his vessel! He also have a high crest as his great ancestor. I wish to thank Ms. Henry for letting us know about this precious story and to Aguba for loving Sham so devotedly.

Because Japanese publication was out of print now, I translated the whole story into Japanese for my mother.
