About this ebook
'Are your twins normal?' Mrs Pullein-Thompson was asked.
'Good God, I hope not,' she retorted.
The twins were Diana and Christine who, with their elder sister, Josephine, wrote more than 150 books, which have sold in their millions around the world. Fifty years after the joint publication of their first book, It Began with Picotee, the siblings wrote about their extraordinary childhood with lovable, but often unreliable animals and unforgettable humans.
Their charming, nostalgic memoir offers a glimpse into the lives of three remarkable sisters who went on to become household names to a generation of readers.
Christine Pullein-Thompson
JOSEPHINE, DIANA AND CHRISTINE PULLEIN-THOMPSON have been household names to generations of children since they published their first pony book in 1946, It Began with Picotee. Since then, the sisters have written over a hundred novels between them about ponies and horses. Christine and Josephine passed away in 2005 and 2014 respectively, followed by Christine's twin Diana in 2015.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Took me back to my own childhood when my poor mother had to buy me a pony book every other day to feed my voracious reading habit. Later, I was given a pony of my own and experienced a similar life of freedom in the 70s. Wonderful book.
