About This Item
This rare title is in excellent condition with just some soiling and rubbing to boards and bumps to corners. Pen name on FFEP. Pages are clean and lovely book ornaments of bridle, halter and horsehoes surround the text on each.
The poems celebrate the relationship between horses and their owners, famous racing steeds and the serene enjoyment the author feels toward the 'horse and buggy days' as mechanized travel and lifestyle chase the more pastoral days away.
All proceeds benefit The Friends of the San Anselmo Library. No expedited shipping outside of the United States.
