CHUCARO

by Francis Kalnay ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

Against the background of the Argentine pampas is set this story of twelve-year-old Pedro, his rancher friend Juan, and Chucaro, a beautiful wild pony, whom Pedro catches and tames. When the autocratic ranch owner decides that his spoiled son must have the pony, Pedro and Juan, strong in their sense of friendship and their love of Chucaro, stand together in defiance of the patron. It is Chucaro, himself, however who finally determines who his owner shall be. A simple but effective story gains strength here from the colorful background of Argentine ranch life and by the author's ability to convey, simply, the tender, spontaneous feeling of the rancheros.
