Penelope Rides Again by Norman Thelwell
Norman Thelwell's best-loved characters are back in a special edition of a timeless favorite. In the early 1950s, and quite to his surprise, artist Norman Thelwell became popular for his equestrian-themed cartoons. In an effort to satisfy a devoted and growing international following, Thelwell developed a cartoon strip about a particular horse-crazy young lady and her wicked pony called Penelope and Kipper. This became a book called Penelope, first published in 1972 and now found bound with other favorites in the popular collection Pony Panorama. Seventeen years later, a second series of adventures found its way to print in Penelope Rides Again. Thelwell's plucky, pint-sized equestrian was back in the saddle (or, more frequently, out of it) as she braved both showgrounds and countryside with the still-devilish Kipper. Many years have passed since Penelope Rides Again was last widely available in print. But now the feisty Penelope and Kipper are back in this special 100th Anniversary Edition in honor of Norman Thelwell's Centenary. With Penelope's help, readers of all ages will learn to pick themselves up after a fall, no matter how hard...and laugh about it.Norman Thelwell worked as a political cartoonist for the News Chronicle, then the Sunday Express and Tatler, and produced over 1,600 cartoons to Punch magazine. He was a founding member of the British Cartoonists' Association and was well-known for his cartoons on horseback riding, fishing, sailing, motoring, and English rural life.
