The Rocking Horse Winner

This haunting tale of a boy driven to the limits of his life by his mother's wanton materialism is based on one of D.H. Lawrence's most enduring short works. Plagued by his mother's obsession with money a young boy discovers that by riding his toy rocking horse he can predict the outcome of future horse races. With the aid of his uncle and the family handyman, the boy finds an unlikely answer to the financial problems that are turning his parents into strangers. But the more he wins, the more his mother spends and the stakes get higher and higher.
