Everyone knows of the horses of Iceland, wild, and small, and free, but no one really knows their story…
We’re thrilled to share the cover of Sarah Tolmie’s All the Horses of Iceland, a fantastical mythic history of the origins of Icelandic horses. Tolmie’s tale takes readers across Eurasia, visiting ancient Khazaria and the steppes of Mongolia. All the Horses of Iceland will be available March 1, 2022 from Tordotcom Publishing.
Everyone knows of the horses of Iceland, wild, and small, and free, but no one really knows their story. All the Horses of Iceland weaves the myth of their origin, a myth that follows one Norseman along the Silk Road to the steppes of Mongolia, and unfolds with a ghostly magic that transcends the borders between civilizations.
