This omnibus edition contains much of Norman Thelwell’s invaluable advice to aspiring equestrians on how to get into the saddle and stay there; each item is illustrated with inimitable and
deadly clarity. From the first publication ofAngels on Horseback in 1957, the Thelwell pony entered the language—and the libraries of horse-lovers everywhere. The angels inAngels on
Horseback are children, but there is plenty here about their parents. Both for those who know Thelwell, and for those who have not met him before, this book is a savory at all times—but
especially after attending a gymkhana.
