I wouldn’t trade the collection for anything for the rest of my life. When Steve Duncan is asked to go on an archeological search on a remote Caribbean island. Many are wrinkled and faded, but only one is missing it’s cover completely. Buy The Island Stallion by Walter Farley at Mighty Ape Australia. Most of mine were printed in the 60’s & 70’s. I have all the paperback originals of the entire series, including Farley’s “The Horse Tamer” and “Man O’ War” (labeled F-14 & F-16 respectively in Random House’s original labeling system for Farley’s books). The Island Stallion is written by Walter Farley and published by Yearling. Maybe it was a copyright thing with the original artist(s)? If they thought new, “fresher” illustrations were an improvement, they were mistaken. I don’t know why the publishers did that. ![]() The Black Stallion will always top the Island Stallion in my mind, but Flame & his adventures were a *very* close second to Alec & The Black.Īnd I agree about the cover artwork, definite step down. ![]() 8 Comments on “ A Tribute to Walter Farley’s Island Stallion Series” ![]()
