I had no idea you saw my book shelves!<br /><br />I 'read' The Black Stallion before I understood the words by thumbing through the book and making up my own story to fit the pictures.<br /><br />The Little House books influenced my childhood along with Flicka and Robert Heinlein.Huntresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08155372788872245758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-61755718396174596792012-01-27T10:51:59.948-05:002012-01-27T10:51:59.948-05:00I loved horse stories, too.
