Rosie's Magic Horse by Russell Hoban, illustrated by Quentin Blake
This story begins with an ice-lolly stick. Its sweetness gone, it lies discarded and lonely ... until a little girl called Rosie comes along. She places it carefully in her cigar box, full of other sticks. At the stroke of midnight, magic and dreams collide and a horse gallops out of the cigar box. His name is Stickerino. 'Where to?' he asks Rosie. 'Anywhere with treasure!' she answers, and hops on its back. Then begins an adventure like no other...
Written specially by Russell Hoban for Quentin Blake to illustrate, this story was among the last things Russell Hoban wrote before his death in 2011.
