From the rear cover: "The story of how the first Camargue horses set foot on British soil in the late summer of 1984. The author had always nursed one particular ambition -- to bring home to his farm in Cornwall working horses from the famous wetlands of southern France. He and his wife Louella chose two horses and rode them back. Their 1,000 mile route encompassed ancient fortified towns in the Languedoc, rocky plains, prehistoric caves, the Dordogne, the Loire and the waterways of Brittany.". First Large Print Edition.
