Summary: Just bought for my 50 yr old husband -
Review: After all these years, my husband, John still talks about his love of this book. I just ordered the original Billy & Blaze in paperback (collectible) as a Valentine's gift for him. I can't wait to receive it and present it to him on our vacation. It's a 4th pressing of the original, but honestly - - I don't think he would care if it were the 104th. I believe we own our horses still to this day because of this book being in his childhood. How precious is that? Love you darling... Can't wait to see your face! Your K10

Summary: A beautifully written and illustrated children's classic
Review: All of the Billy & Blaze stories were among my favorites as a child; I'm so glad they are available again. The illustrations alone make these stories classic children's literature!

Summary: Start here
Review: for fun and adventure.The Billy and Blaze series is great fun. Young boys, even those not interested in horses, will love these books. My 7yo has never had an interest in horses (he thinks they smell bad) but he hangs on to every word of these adventurous stories.

Summary: A wonderful, wonderful set of stories...
Review: I read these books as a little kid... The illustrations are incredibly beautiful and lifelike, and the stories are equally enjoyable. Billy and Blaze's adventures would capture the heart and mind of any child -- or even adult! - with their emotional strength and superb literary quality. I can't recommend these books highly enough... every one of them.

Summary: Hoofs and Wheels
Review: While women generally ride for pleasure to feel the wind and the movement of the horse beneath, a boys ride is different in that it is the power and speed of the ride that are most dear to him in these chariots of fire, the roar of the engine, the hoofs and the noise of the wheels that inspire their thrill. Boys tend to drive either their horses or their cars to see the height of their power, and whether the beauty of black or the silver shine of white, the joy of the command lies in the skill of the rider and the knowledge of his horse, or his engine, a sight that most can appreciate, understand, and admire.
