Reunion: The Story of Two Belgian Brothers, Castor and Pollux:

by R. W. Thompson, R. W. Thompson (Illustrator)

Overview

Castor and Pollux are two Belgian foals born on a beautiful horse farm. Their mother loved them both very much. They grew up with very different lives and were separated. After many years, they are reunited.
In Greek mythology, Castor and Pollux were twins and were known as the Gemini or twins in Roman mythology. Sailors regarded them as patrons. Additionally, they were associated with good horsemanship skills. Both of them were extraordinarily strong. In this book, I chose the names of the horses for these reasons.
