I was just hanging about in the lovely town of Stockport, as you do, did you know they have an awesome hat museum? Totally worth a ganders if you enjoy hats.
Anyway, getting off topic, I ended up in Oxfam. Yup that's right another charity shop. And I came across this book.
I was pretty taken with the title, it such a sad sounding pony. I think that for this one I may have paid over the odds slightly, I'm afraid it wasn't a 50p bargain, but in fact a whole £2.99.
But when I looked inside the book, I found that not only was the pony discontented, he is also called MERRYLEGS! And he wants to be a fair ground horse,
But he gets sick.
That might not be the actual story. I can't bring myself to read it, I prefer my Merry-go-Sickness version.
I must say from an artistic view point the images are really lovely, the level of detail is great, I particularly enjoy the swishing of the carousel. I haven't got a picture of the inner book cover at the moment, but it has a really lovely pattern. I'll try to post an addition soon.
