Pebble the Pony by Benedict Blathwayt

Pebble the Pony by Benedict Blathwayt

Pebble the pony lives on a wild and lonely moor. He loves the holidaymakers who come up from the ton – especially when they bring picnics and feed him their leftovers!

One day, Pebble makes up his mind to see the town for himself, but when he gets there, he finds it’s not such a wonderful place after all. He is rescued by an old lady, Miss Moss, who leads him safely back to the moor.

Pebble often visits Miss Moss on her little farm and is a great help to her when she is unable to go shopping in the town. They soon become the best of friends.

Benedict Blathwayt spent much of his youth, childhood and early years of married life on Mull. He has written and illustrated over 50 picture books for Julie MacRae, Walker Books, Hutchinson, OUP and Rex Fox, among others, and his work has appeared in 14 languages. He won the Smarties Prize in 1988 for Tangle and the Firesticks.
