2009 is set to be an exciting year for Fidra Books with a new list of titles with wider appeal appearing alongside our main list of collectors' editions.
The latter list will see the publication of books such as Shores of Darkness by Elinor Lyon, a previously unpublished book set in Wales near the author's home; two of the popular Trebizon series by Anne Digby; Four Plus Bunkle and Bunkle Brings It Off by M Pardoe, the first and last books in the series; Lost Lorrenden by Mabel Esther Allan; I Wrote a Pony Book by Joanna Cannan, and Pony Club Team by Josephine Pullein Thompson.
Concurrent with this will be our mass market list beginning with The Winter of Enchantment by Victoria Walker - this has been one of our most successful books and deserves a bigger audience and so we have a lovely new cover for it and later this year, it can be found, as they say, in all good bookshops. We also have the rights to Ruby Ferguson's marvellous Jill series and will be starting to reissue those with the original text and new covers beginning with Jill's Gymkhana. Our list of pony books continues with Eventer's Dream; the first books in Caroline Akrill's Eventing trilogy.
If you'd like us to keep you updated about forthcoming books via our email updates and occasional printed newsletters, maybe you should join our mailing list?

And girls such as Susan Pyke are very scathing that she doesn't have the right riding clothes. But her friends show her the ropes, and encourage her to ride in the local gymkhana, where she has a few surprises for the unpleasant Susan Pyke...
