Synopsis

Meadow Vale Ponies Mulberry and the Summer Show

About this title

About the Author:

Che Golden is a graduate of the Masters course in Creative Writing for Young People at Bath Spa University and the Meadow Vale Ponies series are her first books for OUP. Apart from writing, Che's other passion is horses, which she shares with her two young daughters. Che's first horse was Velvet, a huge, black Irish cob who not only taught Che how to ride, but taught her two little girls as well. Now, they own Charlie Brown, a rather neurotic New Forest pony, and Robbie, a very laid back Highland pony. Thomas Docherty is an enormously talented illustrator. He studied metalwork and sculpture at college, but has always liked drawing. He often makes notes and sketches when he travels, and it is these that inspired his first picture books. Thomas spends much of his time visiting schools and libraries, meeting his readers and helping them to create their own stories. He lives in Bristol with his wife and two young daughters. His book, Little Boat, which he illustrated and wrote, was shortlisted for the highly prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal in 2009.

Review:

"Written by Che Golden whose cast list of horses is based on animals she has actually ridden, these are funny and heart-warming stories sure to thrill - Golden's sparkling story is beautifully brought to life by Thomas Docherty's black and white illustrations." * Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Evening Post * "Wholesome young fiction for the pony-mad, and first in the Meadow Vale Ponies, a new series packed with humour and fun horse facts." * The Bookseller *
