In response to Meaning of "Queen Mab", written by Kelley on November 05, 1997 at 13:27:08

It definitely reflects upon Willoughby. The name of the horse itself means "prostitute" according to Renaissance definitions. Strange that one should pick such a name for a young lady's gift.


Queen Mab also happens to be the name of the Queen of Fairies, and I would suggest this meaning, rather than the one you suggest is behind the naming of the horse.If you want to push it, Queen Mab is capricious,powerful and untrustworthy, but not a prostitute!
