Summary: All I Have To Say Is...
Review: I am now almost eighteen but I can remember every detail of this book because I read it over and over and over again when I was younger. I have moved on to more "adult" type books, but it still holds that special place with me as my favorite book. I enjoy it even now first of all because I am a horse lover and second of all because Marguerite Henry is an amazingly captivating writer and the pitfalls and triumphs in this wonderful story will keep you glued to every page!. This is a must read.

Summary: Absolutely enthralling for any horse lover - young or old!!!
Review: I first read this book in the 70's when I was at school. I could not afford a copy of it, so repeatedly borrowed it from my local library. To have my own copy of it now that I am in my 30's is wonderful. Even now when I read it, I am transported back to the 1700's, and share in Sham and Agba's agony and ecstacy. A wonderful read.

Summary: Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I loved this book!!! I couldn't seem to put it down. I was either worried about Agba finding Sham or weather Sham's three sons would win their Newmarket races. This book was extraordinarily written. I loved the part when Sham is standing with the Royal people.

Summary: The One True King!!!!!!!!
Review: I have always been a very "addicted" to horse novels. I read all the horse books in my elementry school and my middle school setting the record for the most books checked out in a single year. So, I have become a "expert" on horse novels, and as horse novels go KING OF THE WIND has taken number one. It has just about everything one could want. A daring stallion and his young master who has to save him from uncertian fates. You'll laugh and cry and yes you'll yell. But you'll be missing out on one of the best horse books of all time if you don't read this one.

Summary: Excellent book for kids who love horses
Review: I am now 32 years old, and this book remains vivid in my mind as one of my all-time childhood favorites. The story of the mute stable boy Agba and his travels with 'his' beloved horse Sham exposes young readers to a variety of cultures and stressses the value of faithfulness and loyalty without being at all preachy. Sham, sent as a gift from the Sultan of Morocco to the King of France, is mistreated during the voyage and arrives looking like an old nag instead of the young, well-bred Arab stallion he is. The king's rejection of the horse is the beginning of a new journey as Sham -- with Agba always there to care for him -- passes from one owner to another, eventually becoming "The Godolphin Arabian" one of the three founders of the Thoroughbred bred. This book is worth buying in the hardback form, especially if that means getting Wesley Dennis' gorgeous illustrations in color
