EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from July 1992, we are introduced to the talented author Mary Sharp and her loyal companion, Brock. The picturesque setting is Lerryn, a charming village nestled in St Veep, Cornwall. Mary Sharp, hailing from Cliff near Lerryn, poses gracefully with her beloved dog by her side. What makes this moment even more special is the fact that Brock plays a significant role in Mary's book titled "The Dream Horse". This heartwarming story revolves around Becky, an ardent horse-lover born into a family of sailing enthusiasts. As she rides along the enchanting Cornish lanes on her trusty steed, Becky finds herself daydreaming about galloping alongside a majestic black stallion into the vastness of the sea. Captured by photographer Jonathan Barker with impeccable skill and artistry, this image showcases not only Mary's literary prowess but also highlights the deep connection between humans and their four-legged companions. With its rustic charm and idyllic backdrop featuring a cornish lane and gate leading to unknown adventures, this photograph perfectly encapsulates both literature and fiction intertwined with genuine emotions
