Rubin and the Lost Horse of Merrithorpe

Children's Books

This story is about an orphan boy called Rubin, who in his wanderings meets a runaway horse. Before galloping away, its prancing and posturing suggests that the horse is trying to convey a message. Then Rubin finds the first and soon after, the second of four curiously numbered golden horseshoes lying on the ground. The crone (a wise woman) sees the boy picking up the first shoe. She explains that the horse had been acquired by the Grand Duke of Merrithorpe from a horse coper and it won’t stay with him because he doesn’t know its name. From then on Rubin’s quest is to discover its name and return the horse.
