Customer Reviews

A Classic!

My 5 year old twin boys have just begun to enjoy this series of books after reading two of the Billy and Blaze books saved from my own childhood. I decided to complete the collection for them and have bought all the other books. These classic boy-and-faithful-horse-adventure stories have a timeless appeal that have been a joy to revisit for me and to discover for the first time for them.

Blaze and the Forest Fire

We have read most of the Billy and Blaze books and this is our favourite. Two reasons: 1) This book shows the most exciting riding scenes, and 2) This book shows Billy and Blaze at their bravest moment. We also recommend Blaze Shows the Way; again for the dramatic riding scenes.

Another great Blaze book

My 7 yo son loves the Billy and Blaze series. This series is an excellent one for boys. Even if you don't think they have an interest in horses.There is great adventure, like only a boy could imagine. And the stories are not so inane that the parents reading them cry for mercy. ;-)I recommend it and my son highly recommends it.

Wonderful, extraordinary book!

C.W. Anderson has outdone himself with this Billy and Blaze story. I love most of his Blaze series with its timeless feel and innocence; what life used to be about. Blaze and Billy are put in a situation of defending the entire forest. They must make their way over hill and dale to alert the neighbouring farm. Will they make it... well I wont spoil it for you. Blaze and the Forest Fire is a unique and wonderful book. You will love it.
