Thelwell’s Pony Cavalcade by Norman Thelwell
At last! Thelwell has been reprinted! This series of three favorites is available as a package: Angels on Horseback, A Leg at Each Corner, and Thelwell’s Riding Academy. We’ve had many requests for Thelwell’s delightful books of cartoons depicting the foibles of riders and mounts; although Thelwell was not a horseman himself, his drawings so perfectly capture the hilarious behaviors and features that “a Thelwell pony” immediately conjures up visions of a rotund, shaggy and mischievous Shetland pony whose little rider’s legs stick out from its sides while it bumps along at a trot or explodes into a bucking fit. Paperback, 352pp.
