We all enjoy books (relatively speaking), but how often do you come across books that have titles which are probably more interesting than the books themselves?

Call it irony or just cruel fate, but Pandora, a thoroughbred five-year old equestrian is allergic to grass! The allergy is so severe that if even a single blade of grass touches her coat, she's left wheezing and gasping for air and covered with large painful boils. However all isn't lost as the efforts of her owner, Emily Pearce, have given this mare a new leash on life!
