This story is a children's fantasy that originally came from a dream. It begins with a bedroom scene where Lucy awakens surrounded by a strange, eerie light. She is whisked into the fantasy world in order to assist in a special task of making rainbows. The rainbow maker is Soup, a strange little man who is dressed as an artist with oddly coloured hair, skin, and clothes. He persuades Lucy that he needs her especially, as his transport is the beautiful horse that once belonged to her. There are references here to Lucy's tragic loss and the acknowledgment to the young reader of their own fears of losing loved ones. Throughout the journey, the friends experience a variety of problems but also wonderful times where magical things assist them.
