Endorsements
'Set against a background of fear and mistrust, this simple tale of a young boy who faces danger to regain his father's good favour, does an excellent job in illustrating the challenges faced by rural civilians during the Spanish Civil War.. At the same time it provides us with a heart-warming tale of Diego the smuggler of contraband, whose valuable stallion is 'saved' by the ingenuity of his eight year-old son. A super little story made all the more meaningful by the author's note explaining that this is based on a true story.' (Jean Gill, award winning author of fiction and non-fiction)
