by Walter Farley (Author)
"The most famous fictional horse of the century" (The New York Times) is back in this timeless classic about how much danger one boy will endure to rescue his beloved companion.
"Someone cruel and vicious wanted to put an end to the Black. Why? What motive could he possibly have? The answer lay somewhere in Arabia." When a chieftain shows up to claim ownership of the Black Stallion, Alec Ramsay has no choice but to let the horse return to Arabia. But he's not ready to let the Black go so quickly. He travels halfway around the world, determined to buy back the stallion. What he finds is an adventure that few could imagine--and even fewer could survive! It has been more than seventy-five years since the first Black Stallion adventure was published, and it is still literature's most enduring friendship between a boy and his horse. Follow Alec and the Black on all of their adventures:
The Black Stallion
The Black Stallion Revolts
The Black Stallion's Ghost
...and many more!Front Jacket
In this, the second book in the series, the heart-stopping adventures of the Black Stallion continue as Alec discovers that two men are after the Black. One claims to be the Black's rightful owner and one is trying to kill the beautiful steed. An Arab chieftain proves his ownership of the Black and takes him away, but Alec is determined to find his horse again. Following the pair to Arabia, Alec encounters great evil and intrigue, as only a horse as spectacular as the Black could inspire.
