Who would have thought that the knobby-kneed little colt called Seabiscuit would become one of the most celebrated racehorses of all time? Ralph Moody recounts the thrilling tale of a plucky horse who refused to quit, a down-on-his-luck jockey who didn't let horrendous accidents keep him out of the saddle, and a taciturn trainer who brought out the best in both. A Moody classic!

About the Author: Ralph Moody (1898–1982), the second of six children, was born on December 16, 1898, in East Rochester, New Hampshire. He was a working cowboy from the age of ten, a trick rodeo rider, and a student of good horseflesh. In 1950, when he was fifty-two years old, Ralph enrolled in a short-story writing class. Encouraged by his teacher, he turned a class paper into a book, Little Britches, describing his childhood days living on a ranch in Colorado. Ralph wrote nineteen books, all based on his life. He died at age eighty-three in New England, at the home of his sister Elizabeth.
