This little encyclopedia rounds up more than 50 mythical horses from around the world, including: Bai Long Ma, part dragon and part horse, of the Chinese classic Journey to the West Balius and Xanthus, Achilles's horses who fought in the Trojan War Pegasus, a winged stallion and child of the Greek god Poseidon Sleipnir, a war horse belonging to great Norse god Odin And so many more! With detailed illustrations throughout, this book pays tribute to some of our most formidable equine friends.
