Ruth Clarke is alas an author about whom I have been able to find out remarkably little. Bonny was one of the later examples of a genre that was becoming less popular: the pony biography.
Finding the books: Bonny is easy to find, and not generally expensive. Don, Dobbie and Dash tends to be expensive, and can be tricky to find with its dustjacket.
