Geraldine Kaye

Kaye, Geraldine

Geraldine Kaye started writing early: she was nine. She is a prolific author, writing books for children of all ages. In 1984, she won the Other Award for Comfort Herself. She taught creative writing, and lives in Bristol. In her wide range of work, she has written one pony book, The Pony Raffle, and three stories about donkeys. The donkey books appear to be early readers.

Finding the books
The Pony Raffle is easy to find in both its printings. Donkey Christmas is still in print. The Donkey Strike is reasonably easy to find. Donkey Boy is very tricky.
