Blitz, the Story of a Horse (1961 original; edició 1966)

This is a story originally published in 1961 for the Weekly Reader Book Club. It is a story similar in nature to "Black Beauty", but less preachy, and with somewhat less content. Blitz is about 4 years old when he is sold and becomes a fire horse. An accident injures Blitz and his owner, and the horse is sold to help pay bills. Unfortunately, his new master is cruel. Will Blitz ever find a kind master again?

I read it in one 'sitting', and enjoyed it very much, with no reservations of recommending it. It is worth reading if you are an adult, young or otherwise, but especially if you like 'horse' stories.

PS: Thanks to bookel for helping me figure out the name of this book so I could read it again! ( )
