Description

From the pen of Australia's most respected and loved children's writers comes a collection of stories about horses, and even stories from the horse's mouth. The story of the first horse to be tamed hundreds of years ago by a young girl; another story of horses and centaurs in Roman times; a glorious tale of King Arthur's horse in the days of Camelot; a heartbreakingly simple but deeply moving story of a young Aboriginal boy, kept prisoner by a settler because the boy is the only one who can ride an aggressive black stallion; and then there's the outlaw's horse fleeing the police. These special stories will appeal to all lovers of horse tales. It is a collection that few children, or adults, will be able to resist.

Author Biography:

Jackie French AM is an award-winning writer, wombat negotiator, the 2014–2015 Australian Children's Laureate and the 2015 Senior Australian of the Year. In 2016 Jackie became a Member of the Order of Australia for her contribution to children's literature and her advocacy for youth literacy. She is regarded as one of Australia's most popular children's authors and writes across all genres — from picture books, history, fantasy, ecology and sci-fi to her much loved historical fiction for a variety of age groups. ‘A book can change a child's life. A book can change the world' was the primary philosophy behind Jackie's two-year term as Laureate. jackiefrench.com facebook.com/authorjackiefrench
