From Library Journal
Following their first collection, The Dick Francis Treasury of Great Horseracing Stories ( LJ 11/1/90), the editors compile 11 British and three American horseracing stories, with authors as diverse as Damon Runyon, Francis himself, and various obscure writers--although the collection as a whole favors period pieces with a decidedly British twist. Four of the stories, J.C. Squire's "The Dead Cert," C.C.L. Browne's "The Inside View," Donn Byrne's "The Tale of the Gypsy Horse," and Colin Davy's "The Good Thing," present intriguing characters and storylines. For libraries with a strong short story or British fiction collection.
