Written nearly a century and a half ago, this book was the first major animal story in children’s literature, although the author had intended it for adults. Anna Sewell had been crippled at a young age, but could still drive a horse-drawn carriage. She often drove her father to the station to go to work and later picked him up to bring him home. During those times, she saw there was often inhumane treatment of horses and was inspired to write about it in order to, as she said, “To induce kindness, sympathy, and an understanding treatment of horses.”

In this story, Jimi Hendrix and his girlfriend enter the Secret Valley for a picnic. After hearing Smarty playing guitar for all the animals in a Secret Valley concert, Jimi is inspired to write a song called Foxy Lady. Later, when Smarty learns the song has been played at Woodstock to a crowd of 200,000 people, Smarty runs away, only to fall down a deep mine shaft where he nearly drowns.

This adventure sees Smarty leave his Secret Valley in the South West of Australia, exploring the nearby town of Donnybrook to investigate a big new circus tent which has been erected on the town oval. Smarty encounters exotic animals including a lion, a tiger, an elephant and a huge reticulated python. The lion and the python try to eat Smarty but, as always, our clever hero escapes and while running away, inadvertently finds himself in the main circus arena, inside the massive tent.
