Thank you for that review of the Fidra 'Jill's Ghymkahna' - it reminds me that I must order a copy for my 11 year old horse-mad niece.

And for me (I do have a first edition on the shelf, but very tattered and scrawled over - so it'll be interesting to do a comparison).

Sadly, despite inflation in other areas, it is still possible to buy a pony for £12...

Is it? Only for dogmeat, though, surely? You can't even get a cat for £12. Our worthless mogs cost £50 apiece - I think it was apiece, not for all three - in the form of a 'voluntary' donation to the CPL. Not that I begrudge it, they've more than repaid it in lurve.

H'm. Pause for the sterner types among us to be sick ...

I believe Fidra's planning on bringing out the whole of the 'Jill' series, and I might replace the copies I have, some of which have had some misguided bringing-up-to-date editing done on them. (My own early-1960s paperbacks are long gone, unless they're up in my mother's attic - and if they are they can stay there, it's scary in there.)
