'Prince David the Daring loves ponies...all except one. Freddie is small and sturdy and brown. He is much too plain for a prince to ride. Solos have strong characterisation and narrative drive - all the elements of a real novel but with a simple story line. Easy story has easy words, chapters and short sentences and being limited to 1,000 words, each is designed to give newly independent readers a feeling of success.' (Publication summary)
