Mavis Thorpe Clark (1909-1999) was born in Melbourne in 1909, and died there in 1999.  Her first published work was a serial in the Australasian when she was 14, and she published Hatherley’s First Fifteen at the age of 18.  She won the Book of the Year Award of the Children's Book Council of Australia for The Min Min in 1966.  Her The Pony from Tarella was published by Knight books in paperback in 1977.  As far as I know, this is her only pony book.
