Informationen zum Autor Poet! rider and sailor Mefo Phillips took a sabatical from the day job working in criminal law to pursue a dream. Now hooked on adventure! she's looking for another. Klappentext The lure of a long-distance ride leads Mefo Phillips to team up with her sister Susie and their spotted Appaloosa horses--Leo! a flirt with a passion for Mars Bars; and affectionate! gluttonous Apollo--for a pilgrimage down the medieval way of St. James from Canterbury to Spain. The lure of a map of European golf courses entices Mefo's husband Peter to follow them in a rickety old horsebox. Slowed by thunderstorms! vertigo! worn-out horseshoes! and a variety of eccentric farmers! it's boiling midsummer by the time they reach the Castilian plains after a meander across lush springtime France. With 1!700 miles! four mountain ranges! and encounters with galloping goats! nude pilgrims! rampant donkeys! and a fountain of red wine behind them! horses and humans are inseparable by the time they reach Santiago and the suddenly daunting prospect of a trundle in the horsebox back to England and a normal life.
