Rufus: the New Forest Pony

English

By (author): Jean Cantlie Stewart

Enter an absorbing animal world as Rufus, the New Forest pony, recounts the story of his life. His early life running free in the forest, his capture and sale and then his good times and bad times with different owners. Rufus lives wild in the New Forest with his friends for the first year and a half of his life and the sights, sounds and smells of the forest are brought vividly to life. Rufus is then captured and sold, but he has a hidden problem which results in him leaving his new owner and passing through many adventures. He travels through Cumberland and the Scottish border country, before finally arriving at the home of a kind family in the north of Scotland. The horses, ponies and donkey in this story are sensitively portrayed both in words and through delightful drawings. Their characters, conversations and actions are as real and life-like as those of their owners and human friends. Jean originally wrote this book for children, but animal lovers of all ages will enjoy its charm and authenticity. See more

About Jean Cantlie Stewart

Jean Cantlie Stewart was born in Edinburgh in 1927 the daughter of the equally feisty Admiral Sir Colin Cantlie who ran Rosyth naval dockyard during the war. Jean was also the granddaughter of Sir James Cantlie who was a pioneer of first aid and influential in the study of tropical diseases. Some say she was expelled from her school after squirting a tray-carrying chamber maid with a water pistol. This was a charge she always denied but perhaps so as not to encourage her son into rebellious ways. Bright and passionately focused she matriculated into St Andrews aged only 16. Her early career was in teaching and in the Red Cross. She married a retired Army officer in 1952 but shortly after the birth of their son Hugh they divorced. Being a single divorced mother was not easy in the early fifties. Jean buckled down to earn a living as a freelance journalist in gentlemanly magazines while living in a remote and primitive cottage in the Highlands without electricity. Determined to improve her lot she moved to Oxford to read for a diploma in teaching. Jean was a traditional one-nation Conservative. She decided to study law as much as a way to enter politics and qualified as a barrister. Jean then stood for the Conservatives in Kirkcaldy (it later became Gordon Brown's seat). Though she failed to win the seat she did increase the Conservative vote substantially. She then devoted herself to writing full time.
