This book has been beautifully illustrated by the renowned graphic novelist Isabel Greenberg, who designed the front cover to match that of our original Rosemary Sutcliff title - The Armourer’s House.Together they are a unique pair of historical novels for younger readers, linking Tudor London with Iron Age Oxfordshire.The Author's Note explains the background to this book:“Whereas the other horses stand stiff and still on their hillsides, elegant, sometimes, but without any spark of life, the Uffington White Horse is magical; full of movement and power and beauty.I have always felt that anything so magical must have a story behind it. A long-forgotten story, which I should love to tell. And then one day, reading T.C. Lethbridge's book Witches, I came upon his theory that the Iceni, the great Early Iron Age tribe who inhabited East Anglia, were also in the Chilterns and the Down Country north of the Upper Thames Valley, until they were forced out by invaders from the south. And I began to get an idea of what the story might be.Sun Horse, Moon Horse is the result.”
