"Gaudenzia, Pride of the Palio" by Marguerite Henry is a captivating, fictional story, based on real events, about a boy and a half-Arabian mare who enter the Palio, an annual race in Siena, Italy, with all the pageantry of a medieval contest. Henry accurately relays the centuries-old traditions of the Sienna Palio, through the eyes of a young man who feels torn both by the allure of the race and the harshness of its demands.
