Pony stories

When in Vancouver I read one of the very familiar pony stories - the Jill series by Ruby Ferguson.

My mom started my sister and I on this series many years ago. There are nine books and we have both read them all often. Currently the series is living in Vancouver.

My sister is reading them too.

*****

A young girl in post-war England is introduced to riding and she acquires first one pony and then a second one. The stories are all about her adventures with them and her riding friends.

The books as we knew them are long out of print but they have all been reprinted in various forms. Now there is even a Facebook page for the series.

It is always good to go back and read them and remember the familiar characters - both people and animals.
