About the book
"Here's writing and illustration in perfect partnership, making a remarkable book. Astonishing!" Michael Morpurgo
It's December 1941 and World War II is raging. Emmaline has been evacuated away from the bombs to Briar Hill Hospital in Shropshire. When she gets there, she discovers a secret. It's not to be shared with anyone, even her friend Anna. But she'll tell you - there are winged horses that live in the mirrors of Briar Hill.
The Secret Horses of Briar Hill is an exceptional and moving novel about the
power of stories and the imagination. With exquisite illustrations by Levi
Pinfold, winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal, it has all the makings of a modern
classic.
Megan Shepherd grew up in her family's independent bookshop in the Southern Appalachian Mountains in the USA. She is the author of several acclaimed YA books, including a New York Times bestseller. The Secret Horses of Briar Hill is her debut novel for younger readers. She now lives and writes on a historic farm outside Asheville, North Carolina, with her husband, two cats and a dog.
