I absolutely love this book, quite rare now, but I read it at primary school in the 1960s and have never forgotten it. It is a story of Claud, a tail-less thoroughbred, who is lured to the cliff edge by singing from the sea, but falls in! Thereafter he meets mermaids, a spider crab and a wicked cuttlefish among others. He has adventures and it's quite scary at times. The end is good and Neptune is very kind to him, so a happy horse is he! If you ca get your hands on a copy, DO! it's wonderful for adults and I would say for children around 8 or 9 to 12 yrs. It also has some nice illustrated pictures of Claud and his underwater life. I am saving it for Christmas 2016 and I can't wait."

I pine for my the then-already-vintage 24-volume, 1930s Book of Knowledge set - handed down from an uncle off to war - that I pored over as a kid - filled with fantastic photos, fantasy stories, illustrations.Glad you found a way to recover so many of those lost books and memories!
