Running with the Horses
Running with the Horses: young readers edition | Alison Lester
2 posts | 2 read
Nina lives with her father above the palace stables at the Royal Academy of Dancing Horses. She loves watching the famous white stallions as they parade for the crowds, but her favourite horse is an ordinary mare called Zelda - an old cab horse Nina often pats on her way home from school. When Nina's world changes dramatically, she and her father have to flee from the city. Their journey over the mountains with Zelda and the stallions seems impossible, with danger at every turn . . . From one of Australia's most-loved children's book creators comes this classic story of adventure that will be treasured by young readers everywhere. Now published as a beautifully presented full colour hardback chapter book with illustrations throughout for young readers, celebrating the story's tenth anniversary.

Bangalow op shop. Done over during a break in the Byron Writer‘s Festival. I love me some cheap vintage! Then I put it all in the air bnb washing machine and part way through the cycle it stopped working! When the owner returned from her time away, she helped me figure out how to open it and then washed and dried the clothes for me. Grand total $29. Much cheaper than when I was there last year. No prices on anything.

#RedRoseSeptember Day 28: #IRan with horses. Fats‘ review: “In Lester‘s book, young Nina must leave her life behind as the war came closer to her city. The plan was to travel across the mountains to her grandfather‘s farm, taking the last four stallions with them. Determined to save an old cab horse named Zelda, Nina climbed onto Zelda‘s back and ride the horse against her father‘s orders.” Her full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-jLS
