In my copy - which is the Ravette edition - Jean's mum is referred to as Mum, whereas in Phantom Horse she is referred to as Mummy. I am not sure if this is a change by the publishers, or that in the first edition - which was published 15 years after Phantom Horse - Christine changed it.

Sam - a pupil at the Riding School

 

Sam's mother also appears, but is just called "Sam's mum".

 

 

Candy Stops A Train

Unlike any of her other series, it is not obvious which one is first and which one is second, as they were both published at the same time, and begin at the same place (i.e. it doesnt say in the course of any of the books the family is just getting the pony). Like the Sophy series, this was meant for younger reader than most of CPT's works, although this has more words than the Sophy books overall. CPT makes a reference in Candy Stops a Train to Good Riding, which was a book that Christine had published 14 years prior to this one.

I am not sure if there is a proper name for this series, as I have always called these two the Mick and Janice series. David from The First Rosette etc appears in both of these books, but Pat does not.

This book starts with a train journey, in which several characters are mentioned but not named e.g. sailors, elderly women etc. Similarly when they visit villages & buy from shops, go to the post office etc, none of the people they meet is given a name.

 

* = a charlady means English house cleaner.

Kinship - The Macgregors are all Scottish, and talk of kinship in the book. I don’t know if it has been changed in later editions (I am using the Collins Crown edition), but as I had to look it up, I thought I would mention it, especially as it is rarely, if at all, used these days. In fact, this book has a very Scottish tone to it.

 

The Chill Valley Hounds Series

This series is taken from the J A Allen pbs: they say they are revised, so I am hoping that they have not left out any characters. These are the only copies I have, so I am hoping the revisions are just basically updating of money terms for example it was £50 in the first edition but it is now £1000 in this one.

There are a few more characters but they aren’t given specific names.

 

I noticed a couple of discrepancies: firstly in this book Sandy & Laurence's surname is described as Darlington, but in the two previous books it is described as Dashwood. I dont know if CPT or the publishers are to blame, as I don’t have another copy to check. Another is that Mr Peterson and Major Sunderland are described as huntmasters to the Waynesbury Hunt, whereas in the previous book they were described as Waynesbury Chase.
