Norman was a dreamer of fantasies and his own fantasy world included the domain of Pattipanonia and Micomicon and the dukedom of the Duke of Fanfrolico with its capital, Catchcrumpet. In the 1920s Norman had begun writing a series of bawdy short stories centred around these characters. A number of etchings, including Castle Fanfrolico, are related to Norman's stories about the imaginary land of Micomicon.
Horses feature in only eight etchings, Castle Fanfrolico being one of them.
