Jinny at Finmory - anyone remember them? Anyone collecting them?

[QueenOfFarkingEverything]

As due to a bit of confusion over 2-in-1 and 3-in1 editions, I have a spare copy of numbers 7 and 8 (The Magic Pony and Ride Like The Wind) that I'd be happy to send to an MNer who loves them as much as me and my 10yo DD do

I LOVED them!! Still got them all.

[QueenOfFarkingEverything]

They are great aren't they :) I've just spent a lurgy-ridden two days in bed rereading them all now we've finally completed our collection!

someone was asking about pony/horsey stories for a 9 year old girl recently. can't remember who though.

[Periwinkle007]

These books are totally brilliant and the publishers at Catnip books agree as they've recently republished them www.catnippublishing.co.uk/fiction.html with lovely new photo covers (of an Arab mare called Shantih!)
Still the best horse/pony stories out there - IMO, my daughter enjoys them too!

I adored them! My mother sent then to a charity shop and I've still not completely forgiven her.

Oh my gawd the memories! I loved these books!

[NotALondoner]

Oh I would love them if no-one has bagged them.

[Campaspe]

Yes, I remember these books as well. I used to really identify with Jinny, as I remember that she felt like an outsider and very alienated from her conventional sister, Petra. I remember thinking that Ken was quite a strange character. There was one book where she had a girl from a deprived city background come to stay with her, and the girl - Marlene, i think - couldn't think of animals to go into Noah's Ark, so says "forward the egg". Funny the little things you remember.

I had forgotten all about those books. I loved them!
I will have to buy one for DD. She's probably a bit old for them at 16 but she can always pass them on to DD2 who is 10 and just discovering horses.
Thanks for the reminder

[EnlightenedOwl]

Amazing books. Pony books yes but with some depth to them.
i loved all PL's books

[Goldmandra]

I've just ordered a set of five from Amazon. I really hope the DDs like them as much as I did. I ached for a horse like Shantih. In fact I ached for a horse full stop.
