COBBLER'S DREAM

The book from where it all started.

"The life of the ageing, ailing horses at their Midlands rest home is not always placid. The living-for-kicks Night-Riders must have their sport. But the Captain, who runs the home, and his young helpers, Paul and Dora, love their charges and are devoted to cushioning them against the ravages of age and the cruelty of man."
