Reviews for The Black Stallion Returns

[fuzzi_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

In this sequel to The Black Stallion, Alec finds himself traveling to the deserts and mountains of Arabia, to the original home of The Black, and to see the purpose for which the great horse was bred.I enjoyed this story, and how the author described the culture of the Bedouin tribes, without employing long passages devoted to explanation, and relating the adventures of Alec, without having to dispel belief.

The Black Stallion's rightful owner takes him back to Arabia, but Alec is determined to have his horse and so follows him to the desert. The second "Black Stallion" book.

A surprisingly even-handed treatment of the Middle East, written so long ago that getting there from New York took 6 days by plane. Heart-pounding excitement, the most wonderful horses ever, and a deeply satisfying conclusion. There's a reason that this is still the horse series.
