"The tramp steamer Drake plowed away from the coast of India and pushed its blunt prow into the Arabian Sea, homeward bound. Slowly it made its way west toward the Gulf of Aden. Its hold was loaded with coffee, rice, tea, oil seeds and jute. Black smoke poured from its one stack, darkening the hot cloudless sky. Alexander Ramsay, known to his friends back home in New York City as Alec, leaned over the rail and watched the water slide away from the sides of the boat. His red hair blazed redder than ever in the hot sun; his tanned elbows rested heavily on the rail as he turned his freckled face back toward the fast-disappearing shore. It had been fun--those two months in India. He would miss Uncle Ralph, miss the days they had spend together in the jungle, even the screams of the panthers and the many eerie sounds of the jungle night." - from The Black Stallion

"Set on the Goose Bar Ranch in Wyoming--with its dramatic landscapes, its wild beauty, and its overwhelming spaciousness--this is hte simple and moving story of Ken McLaughlin and his filly, Flicka. Ken, a daydreamer and a chronic time-waster, is an enigma to his brusque, practical father. And although his mother is filled with sympathy for the boy, she is powerless to bring father and son closer together. Ken's fierce devotion to Flicka will at one point nearly cost him his life. But it is this same devotion that eventually causes the boy to assume the responsibilities of growing up, and he finally wins his father's acceptance." - from the back cover of My Friend Flicka © 1998
