![]() Sham’s speed-like his story-has become legendary. For Sham was the renowned Godolphin Arabian, whose blood flows through the veins of almost every superior thoroughbred. Their adventures take them from the sands of the Sahara to the royal courts of France, and finally to the green pastures and stately homes of England. This is the classic story of Sham and his friend, the stable boy Agba. Although he was swift as the desert winds, Sham’s pedigree would be scorned all his life by cruel masters and owners. But on his chest was the symbol of misfortune. Upon his heel was a small white spot, the symbol of speed. ![]() He was named “Sham” for the sun, this golden-red stallion born in the Sultan of Morocco’s stone stables. The legendary history of thoroughbred heritage is artfully depicted alongside a tale of remarkable friendship between a boy and his horse in this classic story that won the Newbery Medal, now in a gorgeous hardcover gift edition. ![]()
