1. This was a great book with everything you could ever want to know. When i recieved it I couldn't figure out how they filled so many pages just about TACK, but they did and I consult this book all the time, not just when I want to buy tack but when I want to show kids different kids of tack or even just myself since we all like pretty leather things, it's fun to flip through!

3 comments about The Chestry oak.

1. I read this book as a child several times, and have never forgotten it. It gave me a vivid sense of the beauty of Hungary, the richness of its culture, and the confusing incomprehensibility of war to a child's mind. It allows a child's eye view of World War II, without being gory or overwhelming. It's a wonderful story, full of a sense of hope, despite devastating losses, and of redeeming love. It should be a part of any intelligent child's imaginative world.



2. Young Michael is not an ordinary child. His parents are Hungarian nobility and his days are full of magic, from the stories of his beloved "Nana" to riding lessons. But it is World War II and slowly Michael's world begins to collapse. The family estate is taken over by Nazis and his father is accused of collaboration with them. As a small soldier in the war, Michael keeps the real truth hidden--that his father is working against the enemy--but pays for his love of the beautiful horse Midnight by losing all that he has loved.
   
   This is a beautifully written page turner of a novel with lovely illustrations by Seredy. Michael, Prince Chestry, and Nana are memorable long after the story is over, and once again Seredy glorifies the life of the "ordinary" farmer, who she considers to be the true royalty.



3. The Chestry Oak is a excellent book.

   Set in Pre-war Hungary, (I think pre-WWI -- but it's been a long time.)it follows the adventures of a nobleman's son through the war. The story is told from the viewpoint of a small boy and the incomprehensible-ness of "War" is shown.

   A story about family, patriotism, and sacrifice. But mostly about family , I think. There is of course, a horse.

   I've just discovered that my library has gotten rid of it's copy, I and my mom are both upset. oh well.
   Read this book!
