Beautifully restored and complete with gorgeous charcoal illustrations,
this classic story will delight any pony-mad little girl. When her
family fall on hard times, Jean and her family (including their dog
Shadow) must move to the country. Not to worry though, as it seems
they're going to live in a lovely little cottage, and Jean is assured
she can have chickens. And perhaps even a new puppy. . . Jean has never
been to the country before, and is fairly sure she isn't going to like
it. But she soon learns that the country is full of fun and adventures,
and much more exciting than boring old London. Sadly her
newly-discovered cousins are a bit haughty though, as well as pony-mad,
and Jean wishes she could join in. But then a wonderful opportunity to
do so arrives in the form of a pony named "The Toastrack" (so-called due
to his poor ribs sticking out so much) and Jean is told she can have
him! The cousins are mean, and say a knacker's horse like that won't
ever come to anything, but Jean and the quickly-renamed Cavalier know
they can prove them wrong. Gymkhana glory is only a few jumps away!
