Jean Nielsen

Jean Nielsen (1922- ) wrote several children’s books.  The one horse book I have been able to track down is this one, The Phantom Palomino.  I have not yet been able to find any biographical information on the author.  If you know of any, please contact me.

Finding the book:  easy to find in the USA.  It was not published in the UK.
