I have recently got hold of a first edition of Six ponies. When looking through it, it seems to have a lot more illustrations than I can remember in the paperback copies I used to have. If anyone has got a PB copy of this to hand (I have lost mine) could you have a check to see how many pics there are. There are 22 illus in the 1st edition. It may of course be my rapidly declining memory paying tricks on me

Ok here goes. Here are the ones I cant remember from the pbs. Have not got scans of them all as ran out of energy after doing a few! The page numbers may not be the same as the PB or other versions but will be in roughly the same place. There are lots of small pics within the text as well as full page pics. P9 p16 (This one looks vaguely familiar so maybe it is in some other editions) p22 p26 p42 small pic of Noel entitled 'he might give me some weeding to do' p49 p64 p83 small pic of June backing Grey Dawn. Quite interesting to note June has a rather large backside! p87 full page pic of romany allowing herself to be caught by Evelyn p100 doesnt romany look gorgeous? p111 small pic entitled 'shes got her on the right leg' June on Grey Dawn p147 p181 Full page pic entitled 'Hilary rode homewards thru the faint drizzle' p193 Small pic with the Major taking Noel out to see Romany after she had asked him if she could try to school him p203 Full page pic of Margaret with her pony p225 p242 full page pic of Noel jumping a large jump at the gymnkhana
