Ponies and their riders provide wonderfully unruly comedy

Norman Thelwell's small, sturdy ponies and determined riders take centre stage in this selection of cartoons from four of his earlier collections. Drawn from Angels on Horseback, A Leg at Each Corner, A Place of Your Own and Thelwell in Orbit, the volume finds comedy in riding lessons, equestrian ambitions and the everyday business of caring for horses. Energetic children meet animals with equally forceful opinions, while adults struggle to keep proceedings dignified. Thelwell's expressive drawings turn familiar rural situations into affectionate visual jokes, finding as much character in a pony's stance as in its rider's intentions. This compact collection offers a lively introduction to his humorous view of the horse world and its devoted inhabitants.
