Alf’s Little Book of Wisdom Sayings
Compiled & Edited by C. L. McGinley
(Click image to purchase through Amazon.com)
Alf crossed over in April 2014. He died from DSLD/ESPA, an incurable degenerative connective tissue disease. Fifteen percent (15%) of the money from the sale of this book is donated to DSLD/ESPA research in the hope that, someday, other horse/human partnerships won’t have to go through the heartbreak that we went through. The quotes are uplifting, and Alf has a little wisdom to impart as well!
Amazon Customer Review: 5 Stars
“Food For Thought”
“Alf’s book is a lovely collection of wisdom and thoughts to ponder. If I have a question or issue I am working on, I will open it at random and see what is offered. This is a great little book for a stocking stuffer, or as a birthday or graduation gift. Hmmmm – Secret Santa, too! Thanks, Alf!”

“Haunting”
“On occasion, quiet little books of poetry knock the breath out of you. This is one of those occasions. As the author’s name implies, there is a true Celtic tone running through these poems, an understanding of loss, and love, and the remarkable minutia of which our lives are composed. One poem called The Sacrifice takes a small commonplace act of a cat placing its mouse trophy on a stone and somehow integrates it into our universe.
“Poetry is personal and somehow hard to review with prose, but this book is haunting and provocative.” – Carolyn K. Larson
