De: Jemma Spark

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

This is not only the story of the adventures of Black Boy and Rapide, Jill Crewe’s ponies, but many of the horse people who live in Chatton, a village in Oxfordshire in the early 1960s. It is the sequel to Jill’s Ponies: Black Boy and Rapide. There is a pony club rally, a point-to-point at Grassmere, a huge Christmas party at Pevensy Park and Tiddington Hunter Trials.
Susan King (née Pyke) is unhappily married to a small town solicitor, a dull stick, and has become infatuated with Austin Pevensy, the dashing but careless second son of the Duke and Duchess of Tolkington. Mark Lansdowne, who is related to Jill through her mother’s second marriage, has become enamoured of Mercedes Pevensy. The loveable, eccentric, old women, Felicia and Jessica Farthington run an animal refuge and have a promising eventer living in their dining room. Mrs Darcy is back and expanding the business of her riding school. Jill is en route to Australia and spends a week in Chatton before she leaves. She arrives to find that Black Boy has gone missing. In the last chapter, Jill confides in Ann a truly astonishing situation which changes everything.
This is the tenth Jill novel by Jemma Spark and it has it all – warmth, humour, and passion in a delightful escapist tale. The ponies and horses will win your heart with their vividly described characteristics as entertaining as the cast of people.
