There was once born a very little pony. Being quite so little, he was rejected by his herd, and the future looked bleak. A few fields over, a young girl was coming to terms with the fact that she would never be able to ride again. Unknowingly, they were about to change each other's lives . . . The pony was Little Alf, a Shetland pony with dwarfism, and the girl, Hannah, who rescued him aged sixteen. From charity work and building a business together, they became constant companions, though there have been a few casualties along the way - mainly garden ornaments and the neighbours' vegetables. Little Alf is the story of their life together - the adventures and the mischievous behaviour of the most adorable little pony.

Mrs Pepperpot has a problem - a huge problem - she shrinks! And when she shrinks she finds herself in all sorts of trouble... Mrs Pepperpot is determined to practise her swimming, so when all the village children go for a picnic in the mountains she goes to the pool in the wood. But disaster strikes - just as Mrs Pepperpot jumps into the water she shrinks! Now the pool seems as big as an ocean. Luckily there's a friendly frog nearby to rescue her and give her swimming lessons. When Mrs Pepperpot agrees to mind baby Roger from next door, she doesn't know that she's going to shrink. How can she look after him when she's only as tall as a pepperpot? Baby Roger thinks she's a doll and jiggles and joggles her and throws her high in the air. Will Mrs Pepperpot be able to keep the baby out of mischief until his mother comes to get him. . . ?

Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ...gave the alarm, when his pursuers returned, and Andrews, seeing that further concealment twas at an end, quickly descended, ran to the opposite side of the island, secured a log, and boldly launched into the stream, to make an effort to reach the opposite bank, and thus elude his pursuers. Before he reached the Bhore, however, he was intercepted by another party in a boat, and was thus completely hemmed in, when he abandoned all further effort to escape and surrendered. At the prison, we were first startled by a rumor that Andrews had been taken, but were disposed to give little credence to it, probably because we did not desire to believe it. But, alas! the rumor was only too true, for soon after a strong guard of soldiers, having in charge a prisoner, followed by a rabble of citizens, approached the prison. It was Andrews! Oh, how our hearts and hopes sank down within us beyond tin power of expression! Header, did you ever lose a near and dear friend, -and feel that sudden, crushing bereavement, as if all the World had forsaken you, and that a load of sorrow was bearing you down without a helping hand to save or aid-you? I have seen those dear to me by ties of kindred called away novcr to return. I have seen comrades die on the field, and without warning sufficient to speak a parting farewell. I have seen a comrade, endeared to me by long association and friendship amid dangers, chained to me and perishing slowly day by day--his proud spirit broken by disease and WRETCHED, PITIABLE OBJECT. '127 hunger, until fever's fitful delirium robbed him of the sense of pain. All of this have I seen and felt, yet God, in His inscrutable ways and infinite mercy, never laid upon me the heavy, chastening hand of sorrow and anguish that I felt when I..
