Colorful sagas of all of the famous Polish horse breeders explored and related in depth. This comprehensive account was derived from hard-to-find early articles and manuscripts, most of which have never before been translated into English. Written in close collaboration with Prince Sanguszko, Count Peter Potocki, Countess Anna Brinicka and Countess Marie Rey, the story traces their families' history from the 13th century to the present day. Included are lengthy extracts from the unpublished autobiography of Count Roman Potocki, the eldest son of Skowronek's breeder. Includes Joseph Conrad's short-story, Prince Roman. The book is much more than a compelling narrative about the Polish Magnates and their celebrated Arabian, Anglo Arab and Thoroughbred steeds, it is also a valuable reference tool that every equestrian and Polish history buff will treasure and use for years to come.
