About This Item
New York:: Grosset & Dunlap, 1949.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: green 'tweed' binding with the horseshoe device of this series in darker green; a Good book, with a Fair dust jacket.. 8vo (8.25 inches tall) . Description: Dust jacket art is by Edwin Megargee. Illustrated in black and white; the artist is not credited. The exciting story of America's first great race horse, Aristides. The publisher's blurb reads: ''Big Jack Spratt (that's Gramper) and little Jack Spratt (that's Jackie) are as alike as their identical blue jeans, straw hats, and love of horses can make them. Gramper isn't quite as ready to predict good fortune as young Jack is, but he's not one for standing in the way of daydreams, either. Jackie and Gramper knew, somehow that their 'liddle red hoss' was destined for greater things than pony-back rides. But dreams have set backs. When Risty (the liddle red hoss) just plain disappeared, and then hurt himself -- the reader gets wound up along with Jackie waiting to see Risty in his Kentucky Derby race.''
