The Story of the Godolphin Arabian

By Marguerite Henry ● Pictures by Wesley Dennis
Sham is born in the Sultan of Morocco’s stables, marked by signs that seem to promise both speed and misfortune. Beside him is Agba, the stable boy who understands him when others only see a troublesome horse with uncertain value. Their journey carries them from Morocco to France and then to England, through hardship, misunderstanding, and moments of fierce loyalty. Though Sham is often scorned by those who should recognize his worth, Agba never stops believing in the golden-red stallion’s greatness. King of the Wind is a Newbery Medal-winning classic about the legendary Godolphin Arabian, one of the great ancestors of Thoroughbred racing. Blending history, adventure, and an unforgettable friendship between a boy and a horse, it gives readers a sweeping story of endurance, dignity, and hidden greatness waiting to be seen.
