November 2009 Guest Editor Geraldine McCaughrean on a favourite book, The Silver Brumby:
"Any book with a horse on the cover was irresistible to me as a child. So I read countless pony books set in a toffy-nosed world I would never glimpse. Elyne Mitchell’s Brumby books, set in Australia were altogether more rugged, adventurous and well written. As blissful a find, to a horse-mad child, as Black Beauty, and you get more horses for your bucks (more bucks from your horses, too)."
"The Silver Brumby took me cantering into the world's wilder places." - Geraldine McCaughrean
