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 mixture 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.

Originally published in hardcover by Scholastic US and in paperback by Chicken House UK, the ebook includes an illustrated map of Bucephalas’ hoofprints by artist Brian Sanders.
