Description
"She is one of our greatest writers and gave me a lifelong love of history." Chris Riddell
Sun Horse, Moon Horse is a captivating tale of courage and destiny, set against the ancient hills of Iron Age Britain. From the author of the beloved children's classic, The Eagle of the Ninth, Sutcliff weaves history and legend into a poignant narrative that resonates through the ages.
As tensions mount between his tribe and encroaching invaders, Lubrin Dhu, the young chieftain of the Iceni tribe, carves the iconic chalk horse into the rolling hills, a symbol of strength, unity and hope.
Introduced by award-winning writer, artist and environmentalist, Tiffany Francis-Baker, and published in a beautiful gift hardback, this book will entertain and transport children back in history.
From the moment he is born, Lubrin Dhu is different and his unusual talent for drawing places him even further apart. So when his tribe is conquered and Lubrin is appointed its mouthpiece, he is treated with the utmost suspicion. What is the bargain that Lubrin has struck with the enemy lord? And why does he make a horse - a huge horse, high up on the hillside, cut out of the chalk? How can this set his people free?
