No chips or loss, displays beautifully in new mylar. Tam was an orphan colt, as so many of the author's pets were, son of a thoroughbred mare and of Bobs, the most famous bucking broncho in the bush country of Australia, where the author grew up. And as the tiny, smoky colored foal grew into the proud silver creature he became, the intense friendship among the little girl, her aloof dog, Ajax, and the spirited horse grew. Three better friends you cannot find, in books or life. Tam was never properly broken. He could be ridden, but not by everyone. And he could have been as famous a bucking horse as his father - as two would-be thieves found out to their sorrow after they kidnapped the young horse. How Ajax the dog and his young mistress finally tracked down and recovered the beautiful horse is suspenseful reading fare. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers R45687
