Norman Thelwell byl anglický karikaturista, který proslul svými humornými ilustracemi poníků a koní. Po studiu na Liverpool College of Art se stal přispěvatelem satirického časopisu Punch. Svou niku nalezl v kreslených vtipech o dívkách z Jezdeckého klubu a ponících, kteří se vyhýbají překážkám. Jeho díla potěšila miliony čtenářů.
From the first publication of Angels on Horseback in 1957, the 'Thelwell pony' entered the language - and the libraries of horse-lovers everywhere. This omnibus edition contains much of Norman Thelwell's invaluable advice to aspiring equestrians on how to get into the saddle and stay there; each item illustrated with inimitable and deadly clarity.
Given that these highly recognizable characters helped marry the Thelwell name to horses and the equestrian experience the world over, a special 100th Anniversary Edition seems fitting.
