This review is from: Dobbin and the Stardust Trail (Paperback) Like most young girls, I went through a few years when I was crazy about horses. "Dobbin and the Stardust Trail" would really have captured my imagination with its beautifully whimsical horse illustrations by Amanda Olsen. Diana Medler's story tells of a magical and heavenly herd of horse who visit children in their sleep at night and take them flying amongst the stars. When a little girl, Sarah is seriously ill in hospital and it seems like medicine can no longer help her, Dobbin and his child friend, Diana, find a way to reach her in her dreams and start her on the road to recovery.This is a story that will capture the imagination of young children, and the delightful paintings will make it one that they wish to return to. It is made all the more special by its dedication to a real horse "Rockin Dobbin" who was the inspiration behind the story.

This review is from: Dobbin and the Stardust Trail (Paperback) Not only is Dobbin and the Stardust Trail a fun story for kids, but as an adult, I enjoyed reading about the history of the real horse (Rockin' Dobbin) and all that he inspired. His photo with his tremendously long mane is fantastic! Children will enjoy this story of a horse who visits them in their dreams and takes them on fun adventures.

Dobbin and the Stardust Trail by Diana Medler ISBN 978-0-9821563-8-4
Review by Chris Phillips
Medler has written a wonderful tale of friends helping friends. The illustrations by Amanda D Olson enhance the words, transforming them into an exquisite dream for children.
Diana, the main character, and Dobbin are partners in a dream existence. They travel to the fields of a heaven populated by magical horses. On a particular night Diana hears of a horse that has been left alone and his little girl Sarah, who has not called him from the fields. Diana and Dobbin must fix the situation and save Sarah.
The characters are well developed for the shortness of the book. Medler is able to start here a series that could well become another family tradition.
Hopefully, Medler will write many tales of Diana and Dobbin’s adventures. The enclosed picture of the horse Rockin’ Dobbin and his life story are wonderful extras.
