The sand horse

One windy summer day, an artist makes a horse sculpture out of the sand on the beach at St Ives.

It takes him the whole day, and all the beach people admire it.

But when everyone goes in at the end of the day, the Sand Horse can hear the white horses in the surf calling to him: 'Come with us to Sennen, Land's End, and Longships Light!,' and he longs to join them. This haunting story was Ann Turnbull's first for Andersen Press, beautifully interpreted by Greenaway Medal Winner Michael Foreman.
