Illustrated by
Richard Kennedy.
Michael Farrell and his friend go in search of Michael's father, believed missing on the "lost island" of Inishmanann. The story is not one of fantasy, however, but wholly real as the boys succeed in finding Mr. Farrell and a rare living treasure. Beginning quietly, the book gathers speed and holds readers enthralled all the way to its conclusion.

New York Review Children's Collection series.
In this reissue of an Irish novel, two boys travel to an isolated island where a herd of wild horses roam, setting off a chain of events that culminates in a wild sea chase and the uncovering of a ring of horse thieves. Dillon paints a vivid portrait of the harsh life on these remote islands.
