My Friend Flicka"Through his intense devotion to the colt Flicka, a young boy, living on a Wyoming ranch, begins to learn about responsibility and gain a better understanding of his brusque father." ***Set on the Goose Bar Ranch in Wyoming -- with its dramatic landscapes, its wild beauty, and its overwhelming spaciousness -- this is the simple and moving story of Ken McLaughlin and his filly, Flicka. Ken, a daydreamer and a chronic time-waster, is an enigma to his brusque, practical father. And although his mother is filled with sympathy for the boy, she is powerless to bring father and son together. Ken's fierce devotion to Flicka will at one point nearly cost him his life. But it is this same devotion that eventually causes the boy to assume the responsibilities of growing up, and he finally wins his father's acceptance." |
