At the Sign of the Hobby Horse (Classic Reprint)

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from At the Sign of the Hobby Horse From earliest childhood my favourite exercise has been what might properly be called ligno-equestrianism. As soon as articulate speech was at my command, it was my practice to catch and mount, bare backed, any small, wild hobby which might happen to graze in the vicinity, and, with beating heart and flying hair, to ride it round and round the narrow enclosure of my immature ideas. Though frequently run away with, and often thrown or kicked by the vicious little beasts, my passion for this diversion suffered no diminution. Grown to maturity, my most serious efforts have been devoted to the collection and propagation of a stud of these interesting animals. I can now boast of a stable containing a long string of sleek and able cattle (for the hobby breeds freely in captivity), and I have a strong-minded and tireless mount for every mood. Settled in the saddle, I have covered a wide territory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
