How far can a horse travel in a day? What does a horse eat? When is a brown horse really a sorrel (or a bay, or a dun)? What do 'tack' and 'withers' and 'canter' mean?

Author and horse breeder Judith Tarr answers these questions and many more in this long-awaited guide for writers, with insight into the world of the horse and the humans who both use and serve him.

********
Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT miss this handy little booklet on All Things Horse. Judy has been writing articles on this topic over at Book View Cafe for months, and here you can get them all in one lovely package!

HIGHLY recommended. And you should visit her web site to see some of her herd -- the real McCoy, brilliant white horses -- the models for the Companions in Misty Lackey's books!

Book Review for CAROUSEL TIDES

Carousel Tides by Sharon Lee

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Finally! The book I have been waiting for since...whoa, since War for the Oaks or the last Charles DeLint I got my hands on (Someplace to Be, I think.) Come with me to Archers Beach, a tiny Maine coastal village which has barely hung on during the tourist season the past ten years or so. It’s an old place, full of fog and three-story, peeling tupelo wood cottages that once held large families and now are partitioned for multiple renters and small stores. There’s a pier that seasonally runs rides and games of chance, with a roller coaster shaped like a dragon and a carousel that could do guest appearances in a Ray Bradbury story.

If you love contemporary fantasy, if you can’t get enough of Charles DeLint’s work, if you’ve been waiting for another great fantasy – this one is for you.
I can't wait to read it again!
