Jill - bits and bobs

Caney also illustrated some other horsey books. Below are screenshots of Judith M Berrisford’s Timber, the Story of a Horse, and Tschiffely’s The Tale of Two Horses. He illustrated two of Tschiffely’s other works: apart from that he illustrated many books with a Christian theme.

Ruby Ferguson wrote another children’s book, this one not concerned with horses. It is A Paintbox for Pauline, published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1953, and shown to the left. Jill was also published in translation: to the right is Gitte får en pony from 1965. All the Danish translations are now out of print, and are very hard to find.

Many thanks to Birte Scheel for the pictures of Paintbox, Gitte and Timber.

Some Jill compilations were published in the 1990s. As far as I know, these were specially produced for the British booksellers WH Smith.
