This is the classic story of Joey, a beautiful and courageous
red bay horse with a white cross on his forehead. Joey is bought by Albert's
father. Albert falls in love with him and their friendship is a lasting one.
However, Albert's father needs money and sells Joey to the Army. Joey goes off
to the horrors of the First World War. He meets amazing people, Captain
Nicholls, Emilie, Mad Old Friedrich and more amazing horses, including his
faithful friend Topthorn. Although Joey suffers much, ultimately it is a story of
hope. The
illustrations set off this special edition perfectly. It is a beautiful story
destined to be a great children’s classic.
