Clifford
of Drummond Island
Written and Illustrated by
Nancy J. Bailey
"A warm and engaging narrative full of Morgan horse lore and character;
a veritable kaleidoscope of horses, dogs, birds and people, made all the more enjoyable because their story is true! I've
known many a Morgan not unlike Clifford!" -- Jeanne Mellin Herrick, author, "The Complete Morgan Horse"
"In this enchanting tale, Nancy Bailey shows us how good training and love can be
woven together to create the kind of partnership we all want with our horses." -- Alexandra Kurland, author, "Clicker Training
For Your Horse"
"Author Bailey has come up with a winning true story about Clifford
the Morgan Horse that is witty, engaging, and at times, laugh out loud funny. Best of all, Bailey admits to her equine shortcomings
with hilarious results." -- Hallie McEvoy, Book Review, Horseman's Yankee Pedlar
Did you know a horse can have a sense of humor?
This true story began when the author's first horse died. Grief stricken, Nancy went to the same breeder for
another Morgan. She thought she was "settling" when she purchased an undersized two-year-old colt instead of the mare she
wanted. She was in for a big surprise! Follow the adventures of Clifford as he wins the hearts of those around him, while
romping in the scenic wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Combined are tales of hand-fed chickadees, a playful hawk, a loyal German shepherd, and a unique way of life. Hilarious,
heartbreaking and unforgettable, this is a story destined to become a classic.
CLIFFORD OF DRUMMOND ISLAND is now a screenplay on the market as a major motion picture!
Stay tuned for the sequel, RETURN TO MANITOU, due for publication in 2004!
