A special event to celebrate Sun Horse, Moon Horse - our brand new rediscovered 1977 historical novel about Oxfordshire’s Uffington White Horse, by the late great children’s author Rosemary Sutcliff.
Editor and critic Lucy Scholes will be in conversation with author and illustrator Tiffany Francis-Baker (who has written a new introduction to this edition) about Sun Horse, Moon Horse on Tuesday 10th June.
Tickets are £5 including a glass of wine or soft drink.
Most of the White Horses on English hillsides have only been there for a few centuries; the White Horse of Uffington belongs to a much older world. Nobody knows for sure how long ago it was made. Sutcliff was drawn to this mystery, and Sun Horse, Moon Horse was her response. This historical novel is a captivating tale of courage, destiny and the enduring power of art, set against the ancient hills of Iron Age Britain, published in a beautiful new edition and featuring illustrations by Isabel Greenberg and a new introduction from Tiffany Francis-Baker.
Rosemary Sutcliff CBE (1920-92) is the author of over fifty novels, for children and young adults, including The Armourer’s House, which has been especially reprinted in a brand new edition to match Sun Horse, Moon Horse.
Manderley Press has collaborated with the acclaimed illustrator and graphic novelist Isabel Greenberg to create two exclusive prints based on the iconic cover from the brand new Manderley Press editions of Rosemary Sutcliff’s rediscovered historical novels Sun Horse, Moon Horse and The Armourer’s House.
These A3 giclée prints are produced here in London to the highest fine art quality, printed on ph neutral paper using an 11-colour pigment ink set, which has been specially designed to allow for a faithful reproduction of the original artwork with no loss in colour, clarity or detail over time. Prints will last between 50 to 75 years with no fading, and neither will the paper yellow or discolour, even when exposed to sunlight.
Art prints are packaged in acid-free tissue paper, and posted out in sturdy cardboard mailing tubes.
