About The Horse Dreamer

Tender and lyrical, The Horse Dreamer follows Merryn and her two sisters as they navigate the world and their family after the loss of their father. Merryn fashions a horse from driftwood and storm debris, naming him Sorrel, and from that moment on, this dreamlike elemental companion seems to always be there when she needs him most. The story moves through the warm days of summer into the hush of winter, tracing the sisters’ journey through grief and moments of joy and quiet magic as they begin to heal.

Set against a backdrop of wild Scottish coastline, this story is alive with feeling. It’s a poignant, hopeful tale that transports the reader into Merryn’s world. Written in rich, poetic prose and dotted with sumptuous inky illustrations, this debut from Holly Surplice is destined to be cherished by young readers everywhere.
