We all owe Ruby Ferguson a salute for creating such a wonderful character, and the world of Chatton, pony shows,and adventures we have all re-read many years after first discovering Jill in a library book. May every title find fans and longtime friends. There are no words to express the joy of knowing Jill, our long-beloved pony girl, lives on in this new edition.

In fact, when I got married, I took the whole series with me and I still have them! I read the first chapter, and there are little details here and there I don't recall from my edition, so I guess that even back then there was some editing here and there. How wonderful to get the orignal Jill back! I also loved these books so much as a child growing up in the late 70s and early 80s.
