About This Item
"Florian ~ The Emperor's Stallion" by FELIX SALTEN (author of "Bambi") with its original dust jacket. 1934; Grosset & Dunlap; New York. From the dust jacket: "With the beauty and poignancy that endeared his 'Bambi' to thousands of readers, Felix Salten here tells the story of an emperor's horse - and of an emperor. How Florian, a magnificent white stallion began his life on an imperial farm in Hapsburg - pampered and loved by the stable boy, Anton; how he received his training in the famous Spanish Riding School of Vienna; how he became lead horse of the Emperor's coach - a career rudely interrupted by the War - makes a tale that all who love horses cannot afford to miss. But the story of Florian is also the story of Austria from 1901 to 1921 - a richly colored pageant of the imperial court." The dust jacket comes with a clear, protective sleeve (not shown).
