This composite book contains three wonderful pieces of work by famous writers — Black Beaut y by Anna Sewell, Smoky the Cowhorse by Will James and The Pacing Mustang by Ernest Thompson Seton. Love to animals, to horses in particular, unites these stories. The first book became a world bestseller. It was purchased by more than 50 million readers. In Smoky the Cowhorse an old cowboy tells about hard life of a real cowboy horse in the wide expanse of the prairie. In The Pacing Mustang, the wild black Pacing Mustang couldn’t be caught by any cowboy. Only a greedy cook was able to cunningly entrap the fast horse. In the end, even the cook was left behind by the horse’s tremendous speed.
