War Horse

 Happy New Year.  Hope you all enjoyed a wonderful winter break.  Winter? Didn't see much of that.

Did you?  Well December is the month of new movie releases and as we know many movies are now adapted from books.  War Horse is the latest release by Michael Morpurgo. I recently read the book and I believe it was the first book I've read from the horses perspective. In 1914, Joey, a beautiful bay-red foal with a distinctive cross on his nose, is sold to the army and thrust into the midst of the war on the Western Front. With his officer, he charges toward the enemy, witnessing the horror of the battles in France. But even in the desolation of the trenches, Joey's courage touches the soldiers around him and he is able to find warmth and hope. But his heart aches for Albert, the farmer's son he left behind. Will he ever see his true master again?
