About this listen

Dick Francis has written 36 best selling novels, one autobiography, and one biography. With Field of 13, he turns his hand to the short story. The settings range from the national Hunt at Cheltenham, where a middle-aged owner falls in love with her jockey, to the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, where demon drink and wilting willpower take their toll.

Very entertaining short stories

I’ve always enjoyed Dick Francis books, it’s been a long time since I’d read this one and I wanted something to listen to while driving. These stories really haven’t aged too badly and kept me interested and engaged. I have all his (and his son’s) books on my kindle but I’ll definitely be getting some more on audible for long car journeys.

Good.

I love Dick Francis's books , however this is the first one with short stories have 'read'. All different and all rounded, complete little stories in their own right. The narration by Tony Britton was first class.

I know these are short stories but...

I really wanted a longer listen! I guess that I just like the way Dick Francis developes his plot and characters over the course of a full length book.
