An extract from The Brave Horse Brothers:
She put on a coat of golden armour, chose the most spirited jet-black horse in the royal stables, and darted away. However, unbeknown to his daughters, the old king was a magician. He overtook the eldest princess, changed himself into a wolf, and lay down under a bridge he knew she would have to cross.
