Hardcover. NY, E P Dutton & Company, 1st, 1954, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Fair, Hardcover in a worn and chipped dust jacket, 64 pages. B&w images from the motion picture tell the tale of the wild white stallion of the Camargue in the southern coast of France who is continually hounded by rough horse-breakers. It is little Follco, a primitive fisherboy, who does finally rescue him from them, plunging fearlessly into a choking swamp fire to get him out, then managing to mount and ride him to plunge into the Rhone as it rushes to the sea. We last see them swimming together on and on to a land "where all children and animals are friends" - forever. The movie, on which the book is based, won the Grand Prix for Best Short Film at the Cannes Film Festival.
