Description
A long time ago in a village in Maine, two sisters owned a general store. Not very much is known about them, but an old watchmaker from the town remembered that they had a beautiful carriage and the finest horse in town. Who could've taken care of the horse while the sisters ran the store all day? Could it have been the sneaky horse trader, a friendly man crippled by a logging accident, or a pair of well-mannered children?
Publisher's Description of Finest Horse in Town
Long before my mother was born, her aunts owned a store in a small village in Maine. They had a smart gray horse who pulled a shiny black buggy when they went out riding.Prince was the finest horse in town. But no one remembers who took care of that beautiful animal while the aunts were working in their store: perhaps it was a sneaky trader who tried to steal him, perhaps it was a one-legged harmonica player who taught him to dance; perhaps it was two children who once saved Prince's life.
