Farley Uses Venice Names In New Black Stallion Book
Walter Farley, Venice's best selling author of juvenile fiction, releases The Black Stallion Challenged from Random House. The author continues his tradition of using real local names, including Dr. C. B. Palmer, a Tampa-area veterinarian, as a character named Doc Palmer in the novel. The narrative places Farley’s scenes at Hialeah race course near Miami and hints at Venetian scenery and local color.
