Dominic the horse falls in love with a nice, albeit a bit whimsical cornflower. Then winter comes and Dominic hides the cornflower under a stone and heads off to Africa determined to find the cornflower's homeland. While travelling, Dominic encounters a white bear, a crocodile, a camel as well as other characters. In developing the features of those characters the writer describes a journey full of surprises, and conveys a message about friendship, loyalty and love to his young readers. In this fantasy story, paradoxes, nonsense, poetry, and a rather open expression of moral values co-exist harmoniously.
