Put on your not-to-be-missed list. -- The New Yorker

Her mother calls it a breathtaking piece of folly, but fourteen-year-old Velvet Brown is determined: every night she prays to be the best rider in England, and every day she trains to win the world's most famous steeplechase, the Grand National. No woman has ever competed in the race, let alone won it. Velvet is skinny and frail, and her mount is a rough country horse that she won in a raffle. But she whispers her hopes and dreams into his ear, and the horse flies over fences at her command.
Generations of readers of all ages have thrilled to the tale of Velvet's grit and determination and its inspiring example of the struggles and rewards of following a dream. A richly atmospheric portrait of rural life between the World Wars, National Velvet was a selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club in the United States and the Book Society in England upon its 1935 debut. It also served as the basis for the popular movie starring Elizabeth Taylor and Mickey Rooney. This charming new edition features the original drawings by Laurion Jones, the author's thirteen-year-old daughter.

The book is one that horse lovers of every age cannot fail to enjoy. -- The New York Times

Humorous, charming, National Velvet is a little masterpiece. -- Time

This book deserves a top place on your shelf. -- Christian Science Monitor

Better than dove
Good smells, lathers like crazy compared to similar soaps, so you don't need to use a ton at once. Feels nice and moisturizing, idk, I'm picky and I like it.

Leaves skin clean without drying it out
I am so glad I switched over to this body wash! It lathers really well while using it and a little bit goes a long way and makes the big bottle it comes in last a long time. I also really appreciate how it comes with a pump on the bottle, which makes it easy to use and is a huge selling point for me. I have not noticed any leftover residue on my skin after using it, and it rinses off well. My skin does not feel tight or dry after using it, which is nice because I shower daily. It has a pleasant smell, and it isn’t super overpowering or overwhelming. It gives that “just showered” feeling and leaves you feeling nice and clean. I also like how affordable it is, and with such a big bottle I think it is worth the value of this body wash.

Rich lather and wonderful fragrance; I feel like I'm getting a high-end spa treatment
This body wash is spectacular. It has a rich lather and smells wonderful. I feel like I'm getting a spa treatment. The only negative is that if I get any suds in my eyes, it does burn a bit. Other than this I love and would order this again. I love men's body washes and saw an advertisement for this on YouTube and decided to try it. I'm definitely impressed. The current price of $15.97 plus tax on subscribe and save is competitively priced for a 32-ounce pump bottle of body wash.

Rich, masculine, woody experience that differs from most body washes
This soap is almost meditative. Rich Woody, smoky, deep experience. Masculine. Not overly fresh, but extremely pleasant. This lathers and cleans better than most soaps. I’ve tried. I use a lot of Cremo brand products. Their soaps sud well and feel great. This one really caught me by surprise on how much I enjoyed it. If you’re tired of the normal synthetic body wash smells, give this a try.
