The Silver Brumby (novel)

The Silver Brumby is a 1958 novel for children by Australian author Elyne Mitchell.

[1] It was commended for the Children's Book of the Year Award: Older Readers in 1959.

The reviewer in The Bulletin had a few reservations about the book: "One has some doubts about the way the horses talk in it - Mrs. Mitchell, with her essentially realistic approach, hasn't set up quite the right climate of fantasy where this could be acceptable - and, with one brumby-hunt following another and the stallions incessantly fighting, it is a bit repetitive: but against that Mrs. Mitchell does know her country and does know her brumbies".

[3] The novel was adapted for the film in 1993, with the title altered to The Silver Stallion for the US market.

The series was written by Judy Malmgren, Stephens, and Paul Williams, and featured Brett Climo, Rebecca Gibney and Rhys Muldoon in vocal roles.
