Publisher's Summary

Deep in the British Library tucked into the slipcover of a book on the history of Blenheim Palace a packet of extraordinary letters has been discovered. "Dear Marengo brackets Napoleon's horse close brackets, I've never written a letter like this before…." Thus begins the first passionate letter from Copenhagen, the Duke of Wellington's horse, to his hero Marengo in this epistolary equine love story. A story of two horses united by an uncommon passion, cruelly divided by a brutal conflict.

Warhorses of Letters stars Stephen Fry as Marengo, the seasoned, famous and just-a-little-bit-short mount of Emperor Napoleon. Daniel Rigby stars alongside him as Copenhagen, the frisky young racehorse who as our story begins is about to be the new mount for the Duke of Wellington. This collection of their moving letters to each other is introduced by Tamsin Greig.

Written by novelists Robert Hudson (The Kilburn Social Club) and Marie Phillips (Gods Behaving Badly - soon to be a feature film starring Christopher Walken and Sharon Stone), directed by Steven Canny and produced by Gareth Edwards.

    "Vaguely amusing, good performance"
    What disappointed you about Warhorses of Letters Complete Series?

    The writing isn't up to scratch. The writer manages to be amusing for about 10 minutes and then it gets old rather quickly.


    Has Warhorses of Letters Complete Series turned you off from other books in this genre?

    What genre would that be?


    Have you listened to any of Stephen Fry’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    Stephen Fry is always excellent.


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    It had Stephen Fry.


    Any additional comments?

    Not even evolution's finest product, Stephen Fry, can make this book funny in the long run. It is, as I said earlier, amusing for a while, but it quickly becomes old.

    "Creative!"

    I thought I was getting this for my 10 year old and myself to enjoy together BUT this is not what I deem appropriate for 10 year old ears! Glad I listened to it first. Funny, clever and I could listen to Stephen Fry all day.
