Collector's Info: For some reason most of the author's titles written under the name of Stephen Holt had more printings than the Harlan Thompson titles and also had paperback printings. The Phantom Roan is the title most easy to find and is indeed the only one commonly seen in the UK. (mainly the paperback edition). The others are fairly easy to get hold of in the USA, especially the Grosset & Dunlap Famous Horse Stories editions. The first edition of Whistling Stallion is however quite hard to find and Stormy is sometimes a bit more elusive than the others too, due no doubt to the fact it was never reprinted.
