I Dream in White Horses Giles Watson

'I Dream in White Horses' is a collection of lyric poems inspired by the Ridgeway Path, accompanied by the author's own paintings and pastels. The poems celebrate the path itself, but also the trees, ancient monuments, wildflowers and insects which may be found along its course, or by diverting down roads into the Vale of the White Horse. The images which accompany the text include watercolours, gouaches, and - appropriately - soft chalk pastel drawings which delicately evoke the downland landscape and its creatures. A companion volume to the photographically illustrated 'On the Chalk', this little work of memory and yearning will appeal to many walkers of the Ridgeway, whether they walk there in their bodies or in their imaginations.
