The Pullein-Thompson sisters wrote their earliest stories and articles together, and they are gathered here for the first time.
It Began with Picotee was their first story, written by all three during World War II. It has been out of print for nearly 80 years. The story of three girls and the ponies they school and compete, it has been out of print for nearly 80 years.
Their first published works, two short pieces that appeared in Riding magazine, have been out of print for even longer. Cocktail Capitulates and The Road to Ruin both show the sisters writing about what they knew: schooling ponies other people had given up on.
Together with pieces on the Pullein-Thompsons' early writings, and some of the historical background to the book, this new edition brings together the sisters' earliest published works, before they struck off in their own directions.
Hunting was legal when these pieces were written, and it does feature in the stories.
