Some great old fiction in Two Young Corsicans: A BOY AND HIS COLT. This 261 page hardback by Anna Bird Stewart was published in 1944 and is NOT A MODERN REPRINT. From the DJ we read, "Baptiste, who lived on the fascinating island of Corsica in the Mediterranean Sea, wished for three things. He wanted a football. He wanted a horse to ride. And most of all, he wished to become a shepherd. He got the football by earning the money for it himself. His aunt gave him a colt provided he would do certain things. And his father said he could try being a shepherd. But ll this was only the start of Baptiste's adventures. For a football is not good if you can't keep it. A colt isn't really yours if someone take it away. And you can't go on being a shepherd unless you do your job. What a time Baptiste had! No sooner was he out of one scrape than plop! he was in another. You will have a lively time as you go along with him in this interesting and unusual story."
