Gypsy Prince War Horse


By
Tom Townsend

 
GYPSY PRINCE WAR HORSE


Inspired by the is the loss of over ten million horses during World War II, Gypsy Prince War Horse is the story of a young horse, born in Germany in the `1930's just as the Nazis come to power. Like his mother before him, Gypsy Prince is purchased by the German army and sent to the eastern front with a horse-drawn artillery unit. He fights to survive the Russian winters, the Battle of Moscow, and escapes from Stalingrad, only to find himself sent to the Normandy coast on the eve of the D-Day invasion. Lost and confused by a war in which horses have become obsolete, he sets out across war torn Europe in search of the only home he remembers.
