VTG The Black Stallion by Walter Farley 1941 F-1 Random House N.Y. Hard Cover

The Black Stallion by Walter Farley 1941 F-1 Random House N.Y. Hard Cover. First printing of the horse book of all horse books. Farley's first and most famous book, in which young Alec Ramsay lives out the fulfillment of every child's secret dream: to be shipwrecked on a deserted island with a Horse. And not just any horse-a wild stallion who loves him best and hates everyone else in the whole world. With an unmatched pair of primal training sequences unmatched in the numerous sequels, THE BLACK STALLION elaborates its theme of the uneasy alliance between 'untamed, unbroken' nature and civilization, and the deep compromises forced on wild things by human love and ambition. One of the great children's books of the twentieth century.  Hard Cover is dingy from age 82 years old. The inside is in very good condition No writing in the book.
