If you're looking for classy pony stories, there is only one place to go - to the grande dame of children's fiction, K M Peyton . . . who has produced more than fifty exquisitely written stories . . . just as with Rumer Godden or Eva Ibbotson, Peyton's stories for nine-year-olds and over are so richly satisfying that they are perfect, too, for nostalgia-starved adults -- Lorna Bradbury * Daily Telegraph *
Its like being young again . . . I have been gorging myself on all three Swallow stories, published in one volume . . . just the way you want childrens books to be * Bookwitch *
