Reader's note

No one ever went to the Island of Horses; it was said to be unlucky and when there was a storm the island shone with a strange light and the Inishrone people used to say that the wild Spanish horses were trying to land there; Pat’s grandmother used to tell tales about a long silver strange and a hidden valley, and she said the harebells were bluer there and the sea-pinks brighter than anywhere else. So was it any wonder that two bold boys, having adventure in them, should want to explore it? At least, said Pat, they might find eels there. They did; and they found other things too: horses and not all wild ones. Eilis Dillon is a fine writer and she tells a good story.
