"A Horse's Tale", one of Mark Twain’s lighter writings, is a story about different perspectives on life, mainly from the vantage point of Soldier Boy - renowned Buffalo Bill’s horse, as well as an orphaned little girl, Cathy. The setting for this novel by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), is a fictional frontier outpost with the U.S. 7th Cavalry. When the general's orphaned niece arrives, Buffalo Bill takes her under his wing and ultimately lends her Soldier Boy, so they may seek adventure together. Twain uses the friendship between the girl and the horse as the basis for his eventual indictment of the barbarism of Spanish bullfighting. Filled with sharp humor, satire as well as sadness, this book deals with the impressions in life, the reasons for existing, all from the perspective of a little girl and her horse. This book is a must read by both Mark Twain fans and people enjoying a masterfully written story with hidden elements.
