one book closer to having all of Walter Farley's titles.

The Horse Tamer
By Walter Farley

Needs a spell check but was read through.

From the Book Jacket:
Professor William Dailey claimed he could cure any horse of biting, kicking, 
balking, running away, throwing himself over backwards, shying at umbrellas, 
at baby carriages or at anything else. For Dailey was a professional 
horse-tamer.
Many years ago almost every family had a horse, yet few people knew how to 
handle the animals when they acted up. It was then that many owners turned 
to Dailey for help. But while he made friends at his work, Dailey also made 
many enemies-men who called him a humbug, a magician or even a wizard who 
fleeced the public by using "secret" taming potions!
The Horse-Tamer is a story told by the trainer of the Black Stallion to 
young Alec Ramsay, and Alec listened intently-for it's an exciting story of 
an unusual man.

Bill Dailey was a horse-tamer. He could cure any horse of bad habits. He 
faced Wild Bess and others so mean that their owners were afraid to enter 
their stalls. But Bill's greatest challenge was a wily competitor-a man who 
beat and starved horses into obeying for a time. How could Bill expose this 
faker?
Narrated by Bill's brother Henry, the trainer of the Black Stallion, The 
Horse-Tamer is part of Walter Farley's famous series of horse stories. Full 
of action, excitement, and suspense, the Black Stallion books have thrilled 
horse lovers of all ages.

Some raves from reviewers:

"Walter Farley writes with a warm understanding of horses and the men who 
train and ride them. He deserves his top- favorite position with horse story 
readers."
-Chicago Sunday Tribune

"in the field of publishing phenomenon."
.Walter Farley is a genuine-Christian Science Monitor


The most famous fictional horse of the century comes to life in a major new 
motion picture, starring Mickey Rooney in the role of Henry Dailey. "The 
Black Stallion is the first [film] to really show just why a horse can have 
such a magical hold on a child."
-New York Daily News

stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.
