Book Nostalgia Trip

I’m currently having a book nostalgia trip; somebody was getting rid of some books on the verge a few days ago. There was a three-in-one pony book that’s obviously been passed on a few times. I remember the contents from the Dark Ages of my past. The Midnight Horse by Monica Edwards is the one jewel in the collection, published in 1949. When I read it as a kid it was just one more pony book, but now I can see the writing is very good, superior to everything the Pullein-Thompson Sisters – and their mother, see below – ever put out.
