Review:
'Brave horses, strong horses, horses flying, galloping and prancing - all are celebrated in these passionate stories from many cultures.' --The Guardian
'Dashingly retold by Josepha Sherman and sumptuously illustrated, this is a stirring collection to read aloud.' --Child Education, top 50 books of 2005
'Horses in fairy tales more often than not have magical powers, either flight, invisibility or at the very least galloping faster than the wind. Magic Hoofbeats contains eight such tales retold by Josepha Sherman, ranging from North American to Basque, Russian to Albanian, and she writes an introduction to each about the different breeds of horse. Linda Wingerter's glowing, enamelled-effect illustrations add panache.' --Children's Bookseller

Josepha Sherman is a best-selling author and horse whisperer as well as a keen folklorist, specializing in comparative folklore. Her most recently published work is Mythology for Storytellers (M.E. Sharpe, 2003). When not busy writing and editing, Josepha loves to travel. A natural horse-lover, she also has been privileged enough to have a new-born foal fall asleep at her feet. Josepha lives in Riverdale, New York. Linda Wingerter grew up in Maine and graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design. With her sensitive, velvet-textured canvas, she has won much acclaim for her previous projects in children's illustration. Ellen Verenieks was born in Canada and has lived in England for the last decade. She is an experienced voice-over artist in both English and French. Her many credits include children's audio books, educational toys, computer games and more. She lives in London, and is an accomplished stage actress and singer.
