In reply to Stef. I have read a few books in the series because I am MAD about horses. They are really good despite the fact that a boy is the main charactor and there are a lot of male horses. But I have become friends with a male horse and I can still relate to how Alec feels and the author's a boy too. Anyways, my point is I've read a few of the series and they are REALLY good.

I have a granddaughter who has a birthday coming up soon. She loves to read & I want to share the entire Walter Farley series with her because I loved them so much as a child. Can anyone reccommend where I can find the entire collection at a reasonable price?

In reply to Paige. I read every single Black that was availabe to me at a very early age. That was approx. 40-45 years ago. Perhaps a second childhood is in order because I feel the need to fill a void that has been empty for years. Does that make sense to anyone?

Hm. You just reminded me…I never did catch the Black Stallion’s Revolt! I wonder why they never did any more movies on the books? I loved the Young Black Stallion book and movie, but the movie doesn’t match the books at all. I actually prefer the non racing ones, just because racing seems so common. The spooky arabian desert, the backstories, or the creepy swamp of the Black Stallion’s Ghost, those were great adventures. Any horses speed will fade. But his loyalty to Alec will never fail.

In reply to Kendall. I loved them all, but for some reason Flame stole my heart - I always just thought of him as a red version of The Black.

In reply to Ally. Probably every horse lover alive has imagined themselves as The Black's best pal at some point or another. ;)

I grew up on the Black Stallion books, they fed my love for horses and to this day, I still love to think about the giant black horse. My horse is also black, but not quite giant. I can’t say I was the biggest fan of Flame, actually, to be frank, I detested him. I could never bring myself to like a horse that tried the Black’s aura. The books are written well, they’re a light read now, just a time filler, but still my heart pounds with every race. I know that the Black will gallop forever in my heart <3
