This is a novel about steeplechase racing and horse training in turn of the century England. It is by the same author who wrote the classic "Bob Son of Battle". This book didn't seem quite as fleshed out as Bob, but provides some interesting insight into the horse racing world at that time, with local characters and dialect. The author was obviously keen on and knew a thing or two about dogs and horses, so his knowledge from the end of the animal age and the beginning of the machine age adds interest to the fairly simple story. Good enough for when you're in the mood for an old fashioned feel good animal story. Also, the e-version of this book is excellent, no weird typos and such.
