Description

The Pullein-Thompson sisters are amongst the best known of the classic pony story authors. Most of their books have been printed and reprinted, but the stories they wrote when they started off are much harder to find. The sisters wrote their first works together, and they are gathered here in this volume.

It Began with Picotee was their first full-length novel, written by all three during WWII. It has been out of print for nearly 80 years.

 

Their earliest published works, Cocktail Capitulates and The Road to Ruin, two short pieces that appeared in Riding magazine, have been out of print for even longer.

 

This new edition brings these stories together for the first time, showing the sparky observation and solid equine knowledge that flowed through the Pullein-Thompsons’ novels for decades to come.

 

Hunting was legal when these stories were written, and they reflect that.
