About this book
A new horse arrives at Cloverfield Farm, and everyone in the Hill family has a different hope for him. Farmer Hill wants strength for the fields, John wants speed, Sue admires a kind face, and their mother needs a gentle horse to drive. Prince has a good stall and plenty to eat, but he longs for his former home. His determination to return gives these short farm stories their first burst of action.
Helen Fuller Orton draws on childhood memories in a book written after her young son urged her to share the tales with other children. Alongside Prince, the dog Rover takes an active part in family life, even following the Hills to church when visitors arrive at the farm. Simple conversations, the animals' imagined thoughts, and details of barns, country roads, and winter sleigh rides make this a gentle choice for readers who enjoy stories about children and working animals.
