The Authentic Arabian Horse. By Lady Wentworth. (Allen and Unwin.
£5 5s.) THIS magnificent production, which was in type, with paper and binding cloth provided before war broke out in 1939, appears most opportunely now as a peace-time celebration, just when the New- market sales of the English thoroughbred (the true descendant of the authentic Arabian horse) have reached new records. There is no greater authority on this subject in the world than Lady Wentworth, authoress of that classic, Thoroughbred Racing Stock, daughter of that remarkable woman, Lady Ann Blunt, who was granddaughter of Byron, wife of Wilfrid Blunt, and founder of the famous Crabbet Stud. This book is a mine of information gathered from the most varied sources, and it is embellished with 265 plates in half-tone, 26 plates in colour, and a number of interesting diagrams. It would make an ideal present for any lover of horses.
