The Chestry Oak by Kate Seredy

Young Michael of Hungary carries an acorn all the way from his castle home in Chestry Valley to the warm soil of the Hudson Valley farm in the USA where he makes a new home after WWII. It was difficult to decide which are the most unforgettable; the scenes in Hungary, Michael's proud, valiant father and his beloved Nana, or the friendly young GI and his family who take Michael to their hearts and make him their own. Perhaps the most compelling character of all is Midnight, the dancing black stallion, full of fire and beauty, and trained to perform before princes. Kate Seredy's drawings make this a book to treasure. This 1957 George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd. Hardback is in fair condition. Missing dust jacket. Red cloth cover somewhat marked. First two pages are cut roughly 1cm from the top. Some wear on top right-hand corner pages. Light wear on inside back cover. Pages lightly tanned and spotted, book otherwise holds together well.
