Alexa Romanes

Probably better known as a playwright, having written a very successful children's play. But she has also written three children's books, two of which form a short pony series. Also worked on musical composition and as a radio actress. I am not sure what her connection to horses is - if any - and would be interested if anyone has any more information regarding this aspect of the author's life.

Paperback editions only. Neither titles are common but both can be found without too much trouble on internet bookshops in the UK. A bit harder to track down in the USA and Australia, though by no means impossible.
