Michael Foreman's debut picture book, first published in 1961, is reproduced in all its glory. There once was a general who fell off a horse, only to discover the beauty of flowers and nature. From that day on he vowed to change the world around him into one of peace and beauty. The original artwork is beautifully restored, bringing this well-loved, humorous story to a completely new generation. Charming illustrations from three-time Greenaway medal winner Michael Foreman and story by Janet Charters.
