The Carousel Horse spends his days giving children rides at the fair. But secretly she dreams of something more . . .
When a beautiful, sparkling princess appears and helps her break free from her carousel, the two of them soar into the sky on a grand journey that takes them to the moon and back. But where is home for the Carousel Horse? Discovering that might just be the greatest adventure of all.

Tony Mitton has been writing since he was 9. He began writing specifically for children while working as a primary school and special needs teacher. He now works full-time as a writer and sometimes performs his poems in schools and libraries and other venues, mainly in the UK. His picture books include Down by the Cool of the Pool (with Guy Parker-Rees) and The Somethingosaur (with Russell Ayto).
He lives in a small house in the middle of Cambridge with his wife and two children, and a cat called Tiggy, who is definitely one of the family. Tony likes Cambridge but he and his wife often wish they'd settled somewhere where there are better places for walking, like cliffs and hills with good views of the landscape.
