- Notes: first edition, in Carter's C binding. "... the most celebrated animal story of the 19th cent., an account of a horse's experiences at the hands of many owners... The book revived the 'animal autobiography,' a genre popular in the late 18th and early 19th cents.... but which had been dormant for half a century"--Carpenter & Prichard (1984), page 64. Carter, More Binding Variants, page 37.
