Welcome to the wonderful fictional world of Nancy, Ned, and Prince (a family of 3 Belgian horses) created from real life events. Their adventures begin at home in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State and take them to many far away places like Alaska, New Zealand, Europe, and the British Isles. The author and illustrator is Mary Ellen Lincourt. She is a new author and she currently lives in Maine. Seven of her children's stories are now in print and available in local bookstores and directly from the author. Belgian Books, LLC, is a wholesale book company.
How did this imaginary world of Belgian horses acting like people begin? It began with a laugh. One day Mary Ellen was sketching a picture of a horse sleeping on a sofa with its mouth open and loudly snoring. When Mary Ellen's husband saw the picture he laughed. He worked hard during the day, and he often fell asleep and snored. During nearly 8 years of homeschooling their son Gabe (grades 3-11), Mary Ellen saw Belgian horses every time she looked out the window. It seemed only natural to her to draw the most familiar scene and animate these gentle giants. Growing up on a diet of When We Were Very Young (Christopher Robin and Winnie-the-Pooh) by A. A. Milne, and Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox in Joel Chandler Harris's Uncle Remus: The Complete Tales and Thornton Burgess's animal stories, Mary Ellen felt compelled to create a new fiction world with Belgian horses.
