"Boy Woodburn: A Story of the Sussex Downs" by Alfred Ollivant is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is centered around Boy Woodburn, the spirited daughter of a horse trainer named Old Mat, as she navigates life in the Sussex Downs, which blends themes of passion, adventure, and the world of horse racing. The novel paints a vivid picture of the rural environment and introduces readers to a cast of colorful characters connected to the horse training profession. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Old Mat, a well-respected horse trainer known for his unconventional methods and charming personality. As he prepares for the Spring Meeting at Polefax, we see glimpses of his daughter Boy, who is portrayed as a strong-willed and determined young girl, engaged in the world of racing and its accompanying challenges. The opening chapters establish a lively setting filled with local sportsmen and cheerful chaos, while subtly hinting at Boy's dreams and ambitions, which are influenced by her upbringing and her father's legacy. We also meet a variety of characters that contribute to both the excitement of the races and personal narratives that intertwine with Boy's journey. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
