A Horse's Tale

Více o knize

The narrative unfolds from the perspective of Soldier Boy, Buffalo Bill's cherished horse, set against the backdrop of a fictional frontier outpost with the US 7th Cavalry. Written by Mark Twain in response to a plea from actress Minnie Maddern Fiske to oppose bullfighting, the story reflects themes of loyalty and adventure. The character Cathy Alison is inspired by Twain's late daughter, Susy, adding a personal touch to the tale. Originally serialized in Harper's Magazine, it was later published as a standalone book in 1907.
