Clifford of Drummond Island

Clifford of Drummond Island

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. This second edition includes the charcoal drawings by the author originally intended for the first edition, but were too detailed for the printing capabilities at the time. Hilarious, heartbreaking and unforgettable, this is a story destined to become a classic. Equine artist Nancy J. Bailey is author of the Clifford sequel, "Return to Manitou." She has also compiled a collection of her equine art, poetry and essays, "The Horses Who Inspired Me." Other works include "My Best Cat," a murder mystery, and "Holding the Ladder," a novel. Nancy is also an award winning playwright. She is divorced and currently lives in Michigan with the inimitable Clifford, whose latest trick is learning to paint with watercolors.
