"Climb on my back, if you dare, and let me carry you into the battles that changed the world..."So speaks Alexander the Great's bold black stallion Bucephalas, one of the most famous horses of the ancient world, as he recounts their epic journey from Macedonia, across Persia and over the Himalayas into India, straight from the horse's mouth.In the tradition of Michael Morpurgo's War Horse and Anna Sewell's Black Beauty, this masterful blend of fiction and history will appeal to readers looking for a lively account of the legends surrounding Alexander of Macedon and the men and women who followed him to the ends of the earth."A major work of historical fiction." John Newman, Bookseller's Choice, Publishing News.
"Unique and brilliant!" Dr Ian Mortimer (author of the Time Traveller's Guides).
"Roberts wears her considerable research lightly, and you never question for a minute that this was how Alexander came to rule the Mediterranean and the east… but it is not romanticised; you feel the glory of victory but also see how it ultimately corrupts the victor. And the ending, for both king and horse, is as moving as anything I've read." Mary Hoffman, The Guardian.
Away from her computer, Katherine enjoys folk music, cycling, skiing, and horse riding. She has flown a glider solo and scared herself doing aerobatics in a small plane. All of these experiences eventually find their way into her books - though sometimes the horse becomes a unicorn, and the plane becomes a dragon!
