The Black Stallion gets a whole new look for the 75th Anniversary of the first book's publication!

“The most famous fictional horse of the century” (The New York Times) is back in this timeless classic about how much danger one boy will endure to rescue his beloved companion.

“Someone cruel and vicious wanted to put an end to the Black. Why? What motive could he possibly have? The answer lay somewhere in Arabia.”

When a chieftain shows up to claim ownership of the Black Stallion, Alec Ramsay has no choice but to let the horse return to Arabia. But he’s not ready to let the Black go so quickly. He travels halfway around the world, determined to buy back the stallion. What he finds is an adventure that few could imagine—and even fewer could survive!

It has been more than seventy-five years since the first Black Stallion adventure was published, and it is still literature’s most enduring friendship between a boy and his horse.

Follow Alec and the Black on all of their adventures:
The Black Stallion
The Black Stallion Revolts
The Black Stallion’s Ghost
…and many more!

About the author

Walter Farley

Walter Farley’s love for horses began when he was a small boy living in Syracuse, New York and continued as he grew up in New York City. He was able to fulfill this love through an uncle who was a professional horseman and learned about horse training. Walter began to write his first book, THE BLACK STALLION, while he was a high school student, and it was first published in 1941 when he was an undergraduate at Columbia University. THE BLACK STALLION received such an enthusiastic response that Walter went on to create more stories about the Black, and about other horses as well. In his life he wrote a total of thirty-four books which have been enormously popular and published in twenty-one countries around the world. Walter Farley died in October 1989, shortly before publication of THE YOUNG BLACK STALLION, the twenty-first book in the Black Stallion series, co-authored with his son Steven.
