GogMagog are the two ancient oak trees that still stand at the bottom of the tor in Glastonbury, Somerset. Ailim is also from the Tree Ogham and is associated with the silver fir which fitted the horse character perfectly.<br /><br />BTW my fav line is when Ailim is flirting with a mare and Gort asks him what about this other mare he is courting and the stallion says simply "She is there and I am here."

While Gort appears in both, the two stories are very different, yet clearly steeped in the same legends and mythos.<br /><br />I definitely recommend both books for mid-grade and YA readers. Heck, adults too!<br />Cellophane Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166797508899835493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20983136.post-62582762475225387402013-09-11T12:24:46.776-07:002013-09-11T12:24:46.776-07:00Great excerpt, Nancy, and I love the premise.
