Up for auction is the 2007 Breyer # 1286 "MISTY & STORMY" 60TH ANNIVERSARY GIFT SET WITH BOOK NEW-IN-BOX!
According to the box itself: "MISTY & her foal STORMY are now reunited in this BREYER boxed set. Longtime members of the BREYER family, you can add them to your collection and your heart. BREYER'S MISTY & STORMY have each received the prestigious Dr. Toy Best Classic Toy Award. Collect this MISTY & STORMY set to remember one of your favorite stories, or use your imagination & create your own story with the mare and foal that have inspired so many.
"In 1946, MARGUERITE HENRY had the opportunity to witness the annual July pony-penning & adoption of the wild Assateague Island ponies in Virginia. Each year, "saltwater cowboys" round up the ponies & swim them a quarter-mile across the channel. After their much anticipated arrival on CHINCOTEAGUE ISLAND, the ponies are auctioned off to good homes. A humane method of maintaining the wild herd in order to preserve the island's resources, the auction also raises money to support the local fire department--established in 1924 after two fires nearly destroyed the island. Today, the NATIONAL CHINCOTEAGUE PONY ASSOCIATION supports & promotes the breeding of these ponies with donations from the public.
"During her trip, HENRY befriended the Beebe family, owners of MISTY, a palomino-and-white CHINCOTEAGUE pinto filly. It is the Beebe family & their ponies that became the central characters in MS. HENRY'S series of books, starting with MISTY OF CHINCOTEAGUE, MISTY and her mother, the PHANTOM, fulfill the Beebe grandchildren's dreams, in turn teaching them about love, hard work & responsibility.
"Since the publication of MISTY OF CHINCOTEAGUE in 1947, MISTY has become one of the most beloved equines in children's literature. HENRY'S novel weaves historical fact & creative imagination into a story about the origin of the breed & an exciting tale about children's love for horses."
