Where it came from
The Wild White Stallion was written by Albert Lamorisse to accompany his award-winning 1953 short film, Crin-Blanc. Set in the rugged Camargue region of southern France, the story follows the profound connection between a young boy named Folco and a majestic, untamable white horse. The book captures the haunting, ethereal quality of the film, utilizing the cinematic stills to anchor the narrative in a stark, visual reality that emphasizes the isolation and raw beauty of the marshlands.
Published by Putnam in 1954, the book serves as a classic piece of mid-century children's literature, bridging the gap between European art-house cinema and international publishing. Lamorisse, who was both a filmmaker and an author, designed the work to stand as a standalone companion to his visual project. Upon its release, it was praised for its minimalist, evocative prose and its ability to convey the same poetic, melancholy atmosphere that made the film a winner of the Prix Jean Vigo and the Short Film Palme d'Or at Cannes.
