he would be.”

Red Tartar

World Publishing Company, Cleveland,1957, illus Wesley Dennis

(Anice) Page Cooper, 1891-1958 wrote numerous books, but the titles listed below are her horse titles.  She was born in Salem, West Virginia, and educated at Ohio Wesleyan University.  During the Second World War, she worked as a war correspondent in the Pacific, and wrote about the life of Navy nurses.  After the war, she worked as an editor, and then as a freelance writer.  Besides her horse stories, she also wrote non fiction, including Man o’ War, which she wrote with Roger Treat.

Finding the books:  none of her horse titles were published in the UK.  The majority of her horse titles are easy and cheap to find in the US:  Red Tartar can be a little bit more expensive, but is by no means impossible.

Many thanks to Susan Bourgeau and Lisa Catz for pictures and information.
