PRINCESS THE PONY

I have just finished my third children’s book inspired by Los Guajares. It is titled The Adventure Of Princess The Pony. The main character is a tiny Shetland foal who belongs to Jean Pierre, our local French baker, who has stables near Guajar Fondon. Other horses in the book which belong to Jean Pierre are Princess’ mother, Tornado his Andalucian stallion and another foal called Rosie. Among other animals featured are a mule from Faraguit, donkeys who live on an eco farm overlooking the sea in Salobreña and Luther a Spanish war horse who lives on a farm near Velez de Benaudalla. Here are some illustrations from the book and a synopsis.

I have received from the USA proof copies and draft press releases of my other 2 books, The Wise Old Boar and The Lonely Digger. Publication will be very soon. When they are released I will announce this on my blog and www.margaretmerry.com.

THE ADVENTURE OF PRINCESS THE PONY: SYNOPSIS

Princess the pony, a miniature Shetland foal, yearns for a playmate. One day, she manages to escape from the corral where she is stabled with her mother and sets off on a mission to find a friend. She has various encounters with other horses, as well as lambs, goats, donkeys and mules. Because she is so small, all the horses she attempts to befriend regard her with contempt, and the other animals want nothing to do with her.

During the course of her adventure, Princess leaves behind her  a number of unclosed gates, including a paddock where Luther, who reigns over all the other horses, is grazing. He wanders out of the paddock and leads the horses to a river. A sudden downpour, followed by a flash flood, causes the river to swell and as the horses flee to safety, Luther’s leg is trapped in an abandoned fox’s lair. His companions try to release the leg by pushing their noses into an opening in the mound of soil, but they are all too big. At the last minute, Princess appears. She pushes her nose into the hole, and summoning all her strength, manages to free Luther’s leg.

The other horses applaud her courage and thus she becomes a heroine, with everyone wanting to be her friend.
