As his friendships grew ever stronger day by day, Francis felt the weight of his secret burning inside him. Finally he knew he had to make an announcement. The time had come to share the secret he had kept from them for months. Meet Francis, a horse with a curious affliction. Join him as he and his unlikely band of Australian friends embark on a journey together that will change Francis's life.Francis's birth is long anticipated by his elite racing thoroughbred parents and the wider racing community; but when he is born with a serious abnormality, he is abandoned. Francis is kept alive and cared for secretly in an old wooden barn on a remote farm, where he meets Tom, a bounding border collie, a huge python and mice (who are the best of friends) and whose friendship and unwavering support gives Francis the confidence to stand and follow his dream. With plenty of fun times, sad and silly moment with a decidedly Australian flavour; the story of Francis and his friends make great reading for all ages, and teaches us all about what we can achieve if we try hard enough.
Autorenporträt
Born August 10th 1949, Sonia McNulty was fortunate to have theopportunities bestowed upon her by her parents. As a child,attending ballet school allowed her to become a professionaldancer; attending drama school helped her gain parts in amateurand professional theatre; television and film was always a burningdesire; attending singing classes gave her the qualities necessary toperform in operas.At the same time she followed a career in which her father sawpotential, as he was a brilliant architect and engineer in his timeand so encouraged her in that field. Years later she became anarchitectural and interior designer.This continued from Singapore, to the UK, NZ and Australia.But there was still another yearning, and that was to writechildren's books. Being creative in her past fields gave her theability to write as ideas poured out and characters came to life.Sometimes you do not gain world success in all the things thatyou want. But somehow writing these stories has introduced herpast life experiences on paper, with the ultimate goal of seeing oneof her books turned into a film.Sonia has written five children's books so far. 'Francis TheHorse That Is', is the first to be published although she has severalsequels waiting.Sonia's aim is to bring something unique, healthy, humorousand innocent with educational values for today's and tomorrow'schildren.Through her work she maintains a constant love of all animalswhich builds a strong bond for children to relate to in some way.Children and animals share a joy of innocence which goes hand inhand, demonstrating love in a pure and natural manner. She hopesher books will allow each child to use their imagination and travelside by side with their favourite friend as they witness theirmischievous ways.
