Sinossi
Right Royal is an irresistible racing ballad, written by former Poet Laureate John Masefield, about a dream which turned into a feat of madness: a folly familiar to many in the world of gambling! The poem was first published in 1920 and two years later a new edition was brought out, illustrated by Cecil Aldin.It has not been back in print as a single volume in the UK until now. The action of the poem centres on Charles Cothill, the main character of the story, who enters his steeplechaser Right Royal for the English Chasers Cup, a race with obvious parallels to the Grand National. It is run over four and a half miles and features formidable fences. Right Royal has earned a reputation for being ungenerous and temperamental, with remote prospects. But on the night before the race, Cothill dreams that the horse will win and the haunting line echoes throughout the poem: It s my day today I shall not have another... The whole of the poem draws the reader in to the rash stake the young love-lorn jockey puts on his horse, and captures all the thrill of the races as the enthralling events of the day unfold. A tale of exhilaration and heartbreak, folly and love, this is a spell-binding piece of flowing writing by one of Britain s finest poets. Cecil Aldin s masterful illustrations beautifully capture all the heightened emotions of horse racing. Foreword by Miles Napier.
