The sweet pair of the Phantom and Misty is presented on the original Misty and Stormy sculptures created by artist Chris Hess in the 1970s. Based on the award-winning childrens classic about the wild horses of Virginias Chincoteague Island, the models are Phantom, a beloved Chincoteague Pony mare. It tells the story of two young siblings from Chincoteague and their love for a wild pony named the Phantom, whose legacy in the form of a foal named Misty would change their lives forever. First published in 1947, it's been in print ever since, and quickly became a classic tale that inspired generations of horse lovers and prompted many visits to the beautiful island of Chincoteague, Virginia. The first in a long series of Chincoteague pony-inspired stories penned by award-winning author Marguerite Henry, Misty of Chincoteague featured illustrations by Wesley Dennis. Celebrate 75 years of Misty with the Breyer Traditonal Phantom & Misty.
