Terence Blacker wanted to be a jockey when he grew and up. In fact, he could ride before he could walk, and his childhood hero was the great steeplechaser Mill House (a horse). He lives in Norfolk, England.
There appears to be a mismatch in the order of these stories in the two story editions. I previously read an edition that had a story that preceded one of these stories but happened after the other one.
These stories do seem to be aimed at new readers but there are also things that only adults will understand too. Which is something that might make storytime more bearable for some. I feel that the author also deliberately left some things for the adult reader to add themselves. I think this series is going to be worth reading for that reason. Neither of these stories are particularly strong but the intrigue will keep me coming back.
