Amongst Ludo's people, there's a special breed of horse chosen to draw the chariot of the sun. Ludo's horse is getting old, and one day, it breaks out of its barn. Ludo follows his horse and stays by his side through adventures and perils as they encounter personifications of the 12 Zodiac signs on the way to a meeting with Destiny.

A charming story, I read it as a child, a teenager, and an adult, and I've enjoyed it each and every time.

I like this book because a horse is in the story and I like horses.This story is about a guy named Ludo. He is on a jorney with his horse.They go through woods,rivers and many more places.They go into trouble with other animals but they survive.
This book takes place in the woods,river and the zodiac.The name ''zodiac'' is the title that in the ancient world was given to an imaginary belt or track in the sky,which lies along the path of the sun.All planets lie within this belt.
I would recommend this book to people 8-12 that like to read about horses.Older people might think it's for younger kid.

When they speak of Bavaria, they are speaking of Germany, so the story can be used to compare the thinking of a poor German boy and the thinking of a Scottish lady--like the writer. Mixed in is a way of learning of the Greek mythology of the Zodiac. Overall, fun and educational.

This book took me on an adventurous ride throgh time with many unexpected twists.This was a delightful book. I enjoyed it greatly. Mary Stewart added a magical touch to this magnificant novel.-New York Times
