Freya loves horses, but her mother forbids her to go near them. So Freya decides to carve her own huge horse, secretly, in the white chalky rock on the hillside above her village. One cold winter evening when she completes the carving, a strange old woman, a gold ring and a dark, magical journey into the heart of the hill lead the way to a wonderful meeting which will heal the broken hearts of Freya's family - and bring her two unexpected birthday gifts. Miriam Moss's engrossing story combines with Jason Cockcroft's powerful artwork to create a book that will enchant young readers everywhere. Ages 7-9.
