Collector's Info:
The paperback edition of A Pony in the Winter is easy to find in the USA, although the hardback appears a bit harder to find. Copies can also be found in the UK. The author's donkey story does not appear to have been reprinted at all and is also a bit rarer, though still not too difficult to find in America. It is quite hard to find elsewhere however.
