I have sung the praises of Jane Badger many times on here and on twitter: she is a fantastic bookseller, author and now publisher. Her book Heroines on Horseback: The Pony Book in Children's Fiction which was published by GGBP has been out-of-print in paperback for a little while but Jane now has it out as an e-book available for kindle here. I don't believe there is anyone who knows more about the pony book and its wider place in children's literature than Jane and her book is an intelligent, fun read.
A few months ago Jane Badger Books began bringing back out some hard-to-find pony books as e-books and in some cases paperback too making classic pony books available again from authors such as Patricia Leitch, Victoria Eveleigh, Diana Pullein-Thompson, Josephine Pullein-Thompson and Caroline Akrill. You browse some of the selection here.
