THE HORSE WITHOUT A HEAD

by Paul Berna ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 24, 1958

The world of Simenon and Rififi reduces to a gang of Paris gamins, who live on the wrong side of the Seine and pursue their lusty enterprises with all the vigor nd wisdom of their adult counterparts. When the group is deprived of their wheeled rse, a headless creature on which they careen down the Paris, alleys, they set out pursue it and become involved with the police, in a search for a group of crim- The swift pacing of the story, the vivid atmosphere of the Paris slums, and ascinating delineation of character have won for The Horse Without a Head the Prix Litteraire of the Salon de l'Enfance. A book which appeals, both because unusual story it tells and because of its conviction that, in any genu where members fiercely concern themselves with each others interest for survival is sweet.
