Review
"Here's writing and illustration in perfect partnership, making a remarkable book. Astonishing!" --Michael Morpurgo, author of War Horse
"A book about finding hope and beauty in the darkest of places, with exquisite, powerful illustrations from Pinfold." --The Bookseller
"Megan Shepherd has drawn on well-known tropes from children's classics and the horses are beautifully captured in descriptions as well as Levi Pinfold's pencil drawings. The Black Horse swoops menacingly overhead, symbolising German bombers and the ever present threat of death. A powerful story." --Irish News
