I have never been a fan of Bobby Brewster though I know his exploits do appeal to a large number of young readers and listeners: this large format paperback version of one such tells what happens when Bobby enters a spotted merry-go-round horse in a country show. Val Biro's pictures of rural scenes (do I recognise the fair in Thame High Street?) are full of bustle and bounce, and he gives character to animals and people alike.
