Cosgrove, Stephen

About the author

Stephen Cosgrove is an amazingly prolific author: he’s written over 300 books to date. He’s written a unicorn series – Morgan – and various other pony-related titles, which tend towards the fantastic edge of the spectrum .As far as I can see, his titles are generally directed at the youngest of readers.

Finding the books
Most appear easy to find, and some are available directly from the author. Some are staggeringly expensive.
