Walter Farley's tales of bravery, instinct, and survival have been captivating readers for almost 65 years. Here, in a handsome gift set, are four of the best, starting with The Black Stallion, where Alec Ramsay saves the Black after a shipwreck. The bond they form cannot be broken. This bond survives their separation in The Black Stallion Returns, when Alec returns the magnificent horse to his original owner in Arabia. Reunited in The Black Stallion’s Ghost, they survive a terrifying curse. Finally, in The Black Stallion Revolts, they are separated again after a plane crash, and Alec is suspected of murder as the Black runs wild! Each gripping tale culminates in a thrilling race to the finish!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Classics Revived,
By Kay (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black Stallion Adventure Set (Paperback)
As a kid, I read all four of these books by the famed horsewriter, Walter Farley. But believe me, I didn't stop there. I read just about everything he wrote!Farley wrote with a style that easily appeals to the young imagination by creating a feeling of extreme excitement and suspense, even when there may not have been anything to be excited about. Still, whether you like his hyped-up adventure stories or not, you have to admit, he knew his horses. Walter Farley invented some of the most amazing and best-loved fictional horses ever, such as The Black, Satan, and Flame, the island stallion.This collection contains two of my all-time favorites: the original The Black Stallion and The Black Stallion Revolts. The Black Stallion Returns was good, but not great (Besides, I always thought The Black should have stayed with Alec). Then, like in most assorted collections, there's a dud, The Black Stallion's Ghost. When I read it the first time (I was 10), I didn't like it because it scared the heck out of me and I was never a fan of horror...anything. Later when I read it, I just decided it wasn't that good. Still, maybe someone would like it around Halloween. . . .Recommended to anyone even mildly interested in horses, excitement, or both.

Books a 5, set a 3,
By Mr. Real (NH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black Stallion Adventure Set (Paperback)
Read the books as a kid... read them all! Now I'm reading them to my 6 year old. So I ordered this set assuming they were the first 4 books of series... I'm sure if I'd paid more attention, I would have seen that they weren't. So, if you're looking for a chronological set, don't get this set... but if you just want a great Black Stallion set, enojoy!

This review is from: Black Stallion Adventure Set (Paperback)
The young girl I gave this set to was delighted, and although she is only in 2nd grade, she is able to read them with very little help and is enjoying them very much. The price was very affordable too and enabled me to give her more than just one book.
