Publisher's Synopsis
Horse tales and Saddle Songs takes the horse lover and the poetry lover on journeys to Australia. England, and America, to the deserts of the Middle East, to war-torn Europe and above all to the Scottish hills and glens, in the company of such poets as Robert Browning, Walter Scott, Robert Burns, Robert Frost, Edwin Muir and Sorly MacLean, together with lesser known names. A clutch of today's poets, Aonghas Macneacail, Gerda Stevenson, Valerie Gillies, Archie Fisher and Kenneth Steven amongst them, are also represented, as well as Steel herself. Prominent within the whole collection is the 'laureate of the equestrian world,' W. H. Ogilvie.
