| Note | When a young boy gets a reputation for being naughty at school, everyone says he's a bad lad - and he reacts by becoming one. Leaving school at fourteen, he becomes a thief and eventually ends up in Hollesley Borstal. But kindly Mr Alfie, the stable manager, decides to give the boy a second chance, and lets him look after his Suffolk Punch horses. In a dramatic turn of fortune, the boy's skill with the horses saves him from a life of crime. Based upon real facts, this is an enthralling tale of redemption and change. |
