I Wanted a Pony
(1946)(The first book in the Augusta and Christina series)
A novel by Diana Pullein-Thompson
The classic 1940s story of a girl who wants a pony.
Augusta goes to stay with her three superior cousins. Jill, Barbara and Stephen don't think much of Augusta, and they let her know it. They think she's peculiar. And not only that, she is a terrible rider. The cousins have three ponies, but Augusta is never allowed to ride them. Augusta, it is fair to say, dislikes her cousins just as much as they dislike her. Odd she may be, but Augusta is brave and resourceful and that means that one day she is standing at a local horse sale, ready to bid for a pony of her own.
First published in 1946, I Wanted a Pony was Diana Pullein-Thompson's first solo novel.
Genre: Children's Fiction
