"OOh, Miss, I've got the painters in REALLY badly." <BR/>The book fascinated me, it was the 'dark side' I think. I was used to books being jolly and upbeat - so unlike me life at the time. Love all the PT books - and those of their mum too.Cullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397609236510868763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459893438693440780.post-78442649053339977532007-08-24T18:48:00.000+01:002007-08-24T18:48:00.000+01:00Yes it is certainly is interesting, whether or not...Yes it is certainly is interesting, whether or not it is a pony book or not. <BR/><BR/>Did you include "The Pennyfields" in your list? I am having a time getting my head around whether it is a pony book or not, yes they have a donkey, but they do not have a pony.

I was asked years ago to provide the number of pony books the Pullein-Thompsons wrote, and did include this one as I thought you'd include books about horses as pony books, so why not other equines?Jane Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02628233623713926723noreply@blogger.com
