A Rosette for Helen is one of a group of pony books written from a Christian viewpoint. Doreen Bairstow was on the staff of Scripture Union, which “makes God’s good news known to children, young people and families.” Scripture Union have for some while published a range of children’s books, generally taking care to reflect what is currently popular in children’s literature. A Rosette for Helen is one of its pony titles.
Thank you to Hannah Fleetwood for the photograph and information on the book.
Finding the book: easy to find, and generally reasonably priced.

“Jo and Claire’s dream was to have a pony of their very own. And when they were allowed
to go on the own a pony
week at the local stables it seemed like the dream was to
come true. If only Helen wasn't there to show off what a
good rider she was! Jo and
Clare decide to teach her a lesson but it works out quite differently for them all.”
