FROTHINGHAM, ROBERT, comp. Songs of horses. *$1.65 Houghton 821.08
20–17756
“Since the dawn of civilization,” says the compiler of this anthology, “the horse and the Muses have been boon companions in all the heroics of mythology and history,” and, “the advance of the horse has been coincidental with that of man himself.” The grouping of the poems is indicative of the type of horses described. The groups are: The wild West; Orient and Occident; Track and field; “Horseplay”; The horse in war. There is an index of titles and an index of authors.
“Not all have great literary value, but none detract from the quality of the whole.”

“‘Songs of horses’ stands out as one of the most colorful of anthologies. As a book from which to read aloud it could scarcely be matched.”
