A Manual of French Prosody: For the Use of English Students (1884)

The author, A. G. Weiss, has assembled a variety of real-life adventures that will be enjoyed by horse and animal lovers from instances learned from his daughter, Rachel, and his wife, Phyllis, and folded them into an exciting story of fiction, fantasy and adventure. This sentimental story about Rachel’s mother’s old and loveable race horse, Royal Rose, through the reminiscent memories of their old-time trainer and jockey; to the special relationship that develops between a father and daughter who live on a farm in rural America; an unexpected love affair between two champion race horses and a mysterious guardian angel rounds out this delightful family tale filled with light humor, smiles and warmth.
