"Upon A White Horse is a moving, compelling, heart-achingly beautiful book." I'm grateful to Dr Francis Young for that kind remark, of course, but even more so for his deep and insightful engagement with the themes and ideas of my book.

What a delight to get my hands on a copy of Upon A White Horse by @peteralanross.bsky.social, published last week. It is a very fine book indeed. Get it here: linktr.ee/UponAWhiteHo... or at one of Peter's upcoming events!
If anyone in Glasgow or Edinburgh would like a signed copy of Upon A White Horse, there are copies in Waterstones on Sauchiehall Street, Argyle Street, Princes Street and at the Braehead shopping centre. Blackwellβs on South Bridge and Topping on Blenheim Place also have a few.
Happy publication day @peteralanross.bsky.social Upon A White Horse is a celebration of landscape and people - and all that is beautiful, strange and old.
Out now: linktr.ee/UponAWhiteHorse
Iβm so glad to have this beautiful object. @peteralanross.bsky.socialβs books get better & better, their lyricism & meditative quality a balm in sour times. This one is, as it says, about wonder & wondering, but also about how past & present intertwine & how ancient landscapes call to all of us.
