Christine Pullein-Thomson - Daily Telegraph Obituary
Christine Pullein-Thompson, who died on December 2 aged 80, was a prolific writer of children's books, mostly about horses; with her twin Diana and their elder sister Josephine, who wrote along the same lines, she rivalled Enid Blyton in the affections of young girls fond of ponies. Christine, the quietest of the three, was the most productive; she wrote more than 100 books, translated into 12 languages.

The genuineness of the commitment, both of the older and the younger woman, to their authors and to their young readership was a tremendous encouragement to me then, just setting out to play my part in promoting the best in children's and young adult books, and a continuing inspiration to me now.
