Summary: Florentyna Martin, Lead Bookseller at our Covent Garden bookshop, spoke to Lauren St John about our Children's Book of the Month The One Dollar Horse... As Florentyna explained in her review of The One Dollar Horse: This is a book of two worlds: a decrepit area in London’s East End is juxtaposed with splashes of colour from the high-class arenas of equestrian eventing. Existing somewhere in the middle is the aptly named Hope Lane Riding School, where we first meet our protagonist, Casey Blue, whose dream it is to win one of the “greatest prizes in eventing”: the Badminton Horse Trials. Being in the right place at the right time, she rescues an unruly horse, previously destined for the knacker’s yard. Thus begins their journey into the elite equestrian world. http://youtu.be/VXaYPg0WoT8 You can read Florentyna's full review of The One Dollar Horse here.
