This was Walter Farley's first and most famous book, in which young Alec Ramsay lives out the fulfillment of every child's secret dream: to be shipwrecked on a deserted island with a Horse. And not just any horse-a wild stallion who loves him best and hates everyone else in the whole world.
One of the great children's books of the twentieth century.
