Told from Darcy's point of view, a Connemara pony, the reader learns about Ireland and its people in 1917 (the Irish Republican Army vs British occupation is also occurring during this time). Darcy shares her perspectives from the time she is a young foal until she is too old to birth any foals and work.
In the back there are more facts about and the history of this breed of horse.
There are more books in this series that are set in different time periods and about various breeds of horse.
A must for the horse lover!
Usually one large illustration in each chapter so great for more reluctant readers.
