About the book, "Heroes & Hounds"
Heroes and Hounds is a wonderfully charming story about a young
girl’s adventures with her pony and her friend as she seeks to
fulfill her dream of riding “to the hounds” with the hunt. Although
the story is written for young audiences, it has multi-generational
appeal as it touches on such issues as the plight of families with
parents in military service and the welfare of veterans. Anyone who
loves horses, dogs and other animals will enjoy this book. The
illustrations are beautiful and create a nostalgia of their own in
their old-style look reminiscent of children’s books decades
ago.
Carly is 11 years old and lives with her grandfather on a 200-acre
Virginia farm while both parents serve in the military overseas.She
loves the farm, and befriends all of the animals including a sneaky
red fox that stalks her grandfather’s prize chickens. Her best
friend is her pony, Monroe, who shares her enthusiasm for
adventure.Carly’s constant dream is to ride with the Riverdale Hunt
Club that passes through her grandfather’s property.
On one particularly rainy Saturday, Carly watches from her front
porch as the finely dressed ladies and gentlemen ride to the
hounds.Later in the day, Carly finds out that a young hound named
Hampton has become lost and Carly is determined to find him and by
so doing endear herself to the hunt’s Master; perhaps to be asked
to ride Monroe in an upcoming meet.Carly enlists the help of her
friend, Freddie, but the adventure is just beginning.Carly, Monroe,
Hampton and the red fox have no idea what’s dangers await them
