If You Love a Horse Tale by Susanna Lockheart
This brand-new addition to artist Susan Lockheart's beautifully illustrated series of tales for children tells the stories of two legendary horses from very different times and places. Black Beauty is the well-known and beloved tale of a high spirited young colt who is passed from owner to owner during his lifetime, sometimes suffering mistreatment, but always serving his masters to the best of his ability. The Knight's Mare is a lesser-known tale that gets a much-deserved retelling in this handsome volume. It's the story of an impoverished knight, his horse, and a wicked duke's charming daughter, Charlotte, whom the knight hopes to marry. The large, watercolor illustrations that fill this book feature details that move and change as if by magic when the book's pages are lifted and turned. Like other volumes in this series, If You Love a Horse Tale incorporates an innovative paper-engineering technique that produces the detail changes in each attractive picture.
Saviour Pirotta is a Maltese-born British author and playwright. His first book was published in the late 1980's and he has since gone on to write dozens of books for all ages. Saviour lives in the seaside town of Scarborough in North Yorkshire which he believes is the perfect home for an author, with its lovely beaches, cafes to write in and the tastiest fish and chips in the world! Valeria Szucs grew up in Hungary and later moved to the UK with her family. She studied illustration at Swansea College of Art and mainly works traditionally with watercolour and ink. She is inspired by her little dog and the beautiful countryside and beaches of Wales where she still lives. Like Samira, she firmly believes in magic worlds and hopes that her illustrations will transport readers to the magical lands where anyone can be whoever they want to be.
