Walter Farley's first book, The Black Stallion, was an instant hit when it appeared in 1941. Mr. Farley went on to write thirty-three other enormously popular books about the Black Stallion and other horses which were published in more than twenty countries. He died in 1989, shortly before the publication of his last novel, The Young Black Stallion, written with his son Steven.
As a racehorse, the Black had been in a class of his own. But he was older now and faced hot competition from young champions in the field. Only his owner's sudden urgent need for money could prompt him, with the help of his old trainer, to try to bring the Black back to top racing form - fast.
