My day has just been enormously improved by the second episode (alas, I missed the first) of Warhorses of Letters. It is hard to improve on the BBC's summary: "Napoleon and Wellington's horses exchange love letters against the backdrop of the Napoleonic wars."

Oh my horsey God!

I need to re-read Judith Tarr's Writing Horses now just in case I get matched on this for Yuletide.

Re-listening. It's just wonderful.

I like the idea that there is a book about writing horses - presumably this is a riposte to the horse-as-self-powered-car fantasy beast of burden.
