Blitz was no ordinary horse. He had within him a quality of greatness which gave him the power to give his best-and more-whenever it was needed. Carefully trained and well cared for, he soon became the most talked about fire horse in Drumlin-fast and sure and first at almost every fire. Then a fearful accident injured both Blitz and his driver and the great fire horse days were over. Blitz was sold to a cruel master, and needed all of his courage and strength to live through the next few years. The story of how he is saved by the love and care of a boy, and do how he in turn is able to save a child's life makes a dramatic and moving book in the old tradition. There are happy times and sad times, and a warmth in the telling that will satisfy anyone who loves a great horse story.
