Children Hinkle, Thomas C.: Blaze Face. v2.0. 15 May 2026

[graycyn]

Thomas Clark Hinkle (1876–1949) was an American novelist who specialized primarily in children's western dog and horse stories. His children's books were frequently used as supplemental reading in schools in the 1940s and 1950s and many titles were widely reprinted. This title is not, however, one of them. First published in 1947, this is one of the hardest of all Dr. Hinkle's horse titles to find in print.

Blaze Face: The Story of a Horse, caught as a wild colt and trained by Joe Dixon, is stolen, escapes, and has various adventures before the tale comes to an exciting conclusion during an early winter storm.

The text source is the 1947 William Morrow and Company first edition hardcover. No changes were made to the text. An author bio and bibliography are added content.

The ebook is EPUB3 but is compatible with the older Adobe RMSDK engines used on Nook and Kobo devices. It has passed ePubCheck, the Ace by DAISY accessibility checker app, and Send-to-Kindle is supported with enhanced typesetting enabled.

Version 2.0 is a complete rework of the title. The cover and title page images are higher resolution. An extended description of the cover image is available. A rights page updates the public domain declaration to "life plus 75" or less. The bibliography had corrections to the publication order. Sources used for dating the bibliography are attributed. The author bio attribution is more formally arranged. A piece of CSS that proved problematical on a Nook testing device has been removed. Other minor tweaks.
