"Horse Tales" by Mary Boyle is a collection of charming animal stories likely written in the late 19th century. The book revolves around the lives and adventures of various horses and their interactions with humans and other animals, illustrating both humor and moral lessons. This collection appeals to young readers and those who appreciate the whimsical and relatable characterizations of animals. The stories within "Horse Tales" present a delightful blend of narrative and character-driven plots. Each tale focuses on a different horse, such as Sally, a diligent mare who worries about the farm's wellbeing when her owner leaves, and Lele, a spirited horse bought by a vicar who quickly disrupts the calm. We meet Simon, a thoughtful horse concerned about a changing dynamic as a young man returns home, and the playful ponies Snowie and Bob, who navigate their new lives after being sold to a family with children. Through their respective narratives, Boyle effectively captures the personalities of these animals and the lessons they learn, showcasing their loyalty, humor, and the bonds they share with their human companions.
