  The Trilogy of Charlie the Great White Horse

  In the first book of the series called: "Charlie the Great White Horse and the Story of the Magic Jingle Bells". A constant daydreaming, red-haired, ten year old boy Louis Parks, and his friends who live in Centerville, in the heart of Indiana in the early 1900's, became town heroes by saving Christmas one year; with the help of a very special horse named-"Charlie the Barnyard Horse". Everyone in town thought that Ole' Charlie was just an old working carthorse who delivers the ice for the town-folks in the wintertime, but that ended up being the very farthest thing from the real truth.

  Well it turned out that "Charlie the Horse" was no ordinary horse after all. In fact he is one of the last of his kind of horses that once roamed the face of the earth who are called "Arions" or "Semi-Immortal Horses" who were bred, and taken care of by the "Ancients" who have come to live out their last days on earth, in Centerville.

  Santa Claus was in need of a replacement for Rudolf the Red Nosed reindeer who is soon to retire. With the help of: Santa Claus, Mr. Beamer, Louis, and his boyhood friends, and mostly with the help of string of magic jingle bells, "Charlie the Great White Horse" was magically reborn on Christmas Eve, saving the future of Christmas, for all the children of the world.
