Story Behind The Book

Everyone needs a friend, even a tiny Shetland pony named Princess. One day, she manages to escape from the paddock where she is stabled with her mother and sets off on a mission to find someone to play with. She has various encounters with other horses, as well as lambs, goats, donkeys and mules. Because she is so small, all the horses she attempts to befriend regard her with contempt, and the other animals want nothing to do with her. She faces dangerous situations, learns lessons that all children will take to heart, and finally becomes a heroine whom everybody wants to play with. Illustrated by me, Margaret Merry, I hope The Adventure of Princess the Pony will delight children and horse lovers of all ages. I live near a remote mountain region of Southern Spain and draw my inspiration from the countryside around me. I saw Princess at a small stable down the road and she gave me the idea for this book.
