Silver Brumby, The

From the Australian classic by Elyne Mitchell. A writer living in Victoria, Australia, recounts to her young daughter the story of Thowra, a beautiful, wild stallion that roams the countryside free of man's dominance. A cattleman, known as the Man, becomes obsessed with taming the silver brumby, and the girl becomes engrossed in what she believes is a fictional tale of man vs. beast. She later learns that the story is real, and that the battle between Thowra and the Man is heading toward a tragic conclusion.
