Dee, Sheryn

Sheryn Dee is an Australian author. She started acting for Australian television and radio at the age of 13, and writing for radio two years later. She has worked as secondary school teacher, and worked in communication psychology (neuro linguistic programming).

She now works principally as a screenwriter, and has adapted books for the stage, including Come Danger Come Darkness for the BBC, and has won several film and television awards. The only children’s pony books she has written (that I have been able to find) are her Magic books. These are aimed at the earliest readers, and are good solid reads. They will not set your literary world alight, but they are charming stories, gently humorous, and good bedtime reading. The books were originally published in Australia as the Aussie Pony Tales series, and were republished (and retitled) in the UK by Catnip as the Magic series.

Finding the books
All in print in the UK – they no longer appear to be so in Australia.
