'An awe-inspiring tale of adventure, grit, and the deep bond between man, horse and nature a story that will stir the soul of every reader who dreams of pushing beyond the horizon' Alastair Humphreys, author of Microadventures 'Vivid imagery... A terrific adventure story well told by an articulate, enterprising writer' Country Life 'A classic adventure narrative in the vein of Patrick Leigh Fermor and Robert Louis Stevenson: this is a life-changing, continental trek on foot and on horseback that captures the clarity, freedom and desperate joys of long distance travel and the closeness and intimacy of the herd. Romantic in so many senses of the word a love story, a wilderness quest, a kaleidoscope of European culture and language' Cal Flyn, author of Islands of Abandonment 'From the future to the past and the real-life equestrian tale of actor-adventurer Louis D Hall... His first foray in the world of travel writing is impressive... a compelling, uplifting and astonishing read' Sunday Post 'Remarkable... this curiously timeless adventure, with its soaring highs and crushing lows, is never less than compelling' Roger Cox, Scotsman 'An utterly enchanting debut a new favourite book. I was riding side by side with the author, every step of the way' Antonia Fraser 'Surprising, gripping and unforgettable. What a fabulous debut!' Mel Giedroyc 'A young man with an old soul takes on an ancient journey by horseback across Europe. This is a striking debut that will transcend its time: an emotionally taut, beautifully written book for eternally restless romantics' Sophy Roberts, author of Lost Pianos of Siberia 'An incredible journey, complete with all of the elements of real adventure; joy, despair, challenge and surprise. And a deep sense of meaning this is an exploration of the interior every bit as much as it is one of the exterior. A book that will inspire many an odyssey!' Leon McCarron, author of Wounded Tigris 'In Green is a love letter to serendipity, to leaning into uncertainty, to being ok with not knowing what the destination looks like, and to trusting in the kindness of strangers, animals and yourself. For all the wanderers and soul-searchers, this will be both balm and permission no, its not easy and yes, you can go too... A vital book' Mary-Ann Ochota, author of Secret Britain and Hidden Histories 'A lyrical account of slow travel through the old routes of Europe, and a paean to the even older relationship between humans and horses' James Roberts, author of Two Lights 'In Green is a deeply engaging tale of adventure and determination. This is a quest for what lies eternally beyond the horizon risk, love, luck, the goodness of others and those inner resources we dont know we have. A compelling account of a man and a horse in naked nature, and the joys and perils of setting off on your own.' Dr Clare Morgan, Kellogg College, Oxford University 'This coming of age adventure exploring grief, wild landscapes and the healing power of the horse heralds the arrival of a passionate and distinctive new voice in travel writing' Lucy Atkins, author of Windmill Hill In Green takes us on the oldest of journeys. Our guides are Louis and his horse, Sasha, and their destination is Cape Finisterre, the lands end. What we travel through as they go are landscapes of loss and love, commitment and dependency, companionship and hope. This is powerful, honest, affecting writing, a story of trust and human change' David Herd, author of Walk Song 'A brave and thrilling adventure, elegantly told. And a timely reminder of how much love and kindness there is in the world, despite everything' Antonia Bolingbroke-Kent, author of Land of the Dawn-lit Mountains
