It's the spark underneath each new version and each fresh company who bring the fuel and the heat to inspire every production of War Horse . -- Mervyn Millar<br><br> An excellent publication... At all times, Millar's writing is clear, pacy and illuminating and the illustrations - which include four pages of color photographs - are fabulous. Don't bother to see the film version: spend your money on this lovely book. -- Aleks Sierz<br><br> A story of how an astonishing piece of theatre came about - The Stage <br>
