À propos de cet audio

 He was named “Sham” for the sun, this golden red stallion born in the Sultan of Morocco’s stone stables. Upon his heel was a small white spot, the symbol of speed. But on his chest was the symbol of misfortune. Although he was as swift as the desert winds, Sham’s proud pedigree would be scorned all his life by cruel masters and owners.

This is the classic story of Sham and his friend, the stable boy Agba. Their adventures take them from the sands of the Sahara to the royal courts of France and, finally, to the green pastures and stately homes of England. For Sham was the renowned “Godolphin Arabian” whose blood flows through the veins of almost every superior Thoroughbred. Sham’s speed–like his story–has become legendary.©2008 Marguerite Henry; (P)2008 Random House, Inc.

A very good story about a horse and a boy that met many hardships but in the end reached triumph against many odds

A good horse story!

I read this book as a child when it first came out. I just listened to it from a surgical recovery room as an adult and greatly enjoyed the story, and it touched me just as much as I did when I was young. My only gripe at all with the performance was the performance was the tacky music at the beginning of every chapter, I think they could have left it out entirely and had a perfect performance.

Just as good 25 years later!
