About this event
The Stallion and His Peculiar Boy
by MJ Evans
Inspired by a true story, The Stallion and His Peculiar Boy will touch your heart as no other horse story has before.
World War II is raging. Hitler is hiding away the world's most beautiful purebred horses in a little village in Czechoslovakia. Lipizzaners, Thoroughbreds, and the prize Polish Arabians are being used in his experiments to create the perfect war horse.
A peculiar twelve-year-old boy named Teodor, from the village, becomes the groom for one of those special horses, Witez II, one of the most famous Arabian stallions of all time. Witez helps the boy face his challenges and find his voice at a time when little is known about the condition now called "Autism."
The Stallion and His Peculiar Boy blends the suspense of a World War II military rescue operation with the subsequent challenges of resettlement in a new land.
Patti Kent will be the moderator.
