Man O' War

Author: Walter Farley
Stars: 5

Review by: RjS

 Most people will know Walter Farley from his most famous book, The Black Stallion. Man O' War was a very real horse, however, this is a story told by a fictional character, Danny Ryan, Man O' War's groom. Danny was with Man O' War's dam, Mahubah when she foaled the colt and remained with him, through his last race against Sir Barton. While most horse lovers know a lot of the facts concerning Man O' War, this version of his story was exciting and suspenseful. I loved it.
