I definitely agree that the P-T books didn’t have as much depth as others.

I would agree about Christine and Diana's books but really like Josephine's and learnt a lot from them.

Was it Josephine who wrote the Radney riding club ones with a girl called Noel as one of main characters?

As a pony-less child and teenager I loved her books, I read them all - I specifically remember "Darkling" which was a coming of age story, and the Swallow Tales series, along with Fly By Night and Flambards. RIP and I will raise a glass tonight.

Yes, the series starts off with Six Ponies

I’m going to have to look up her other books. I adored, adored, adored the Flambards trilogy (and enjoyed the later fourth book the title of which I’ve forgotten). And have watched the series several times.

Rest in Peace K M. You gave me so many hours of reading pleasure [and escape] in my pony-less childhood. x

Give "Darkling"a go, it's a lovely interesting book.

I loved Fly-by-Night as a child. I still have it, will have to read it again. RIP and thank you for your wonderful books, KM.

I was an adult before I started reading her books but didn't find them 'childish'. Good read for any age.

Only just seen that she has died.

Loved her books but always had to rely on what the local library had to offer so there are some here that I missed when growing up. Will give Darkling and Blind Beauty a try when I find time!
