Norman Thelwell was een Engelse cartoonist die gevierd werd om zijn humoristische illustraties van pony's en paarden. Als afgestudeerde van het Liverpool College of Art werd hij een vooraanstaand medewerker van het satirische tijdschrift Punch. Hij vond zijn kenmerkende niche in het portretteren van de heerlijke capriolen van ponyclubmeisjes en hun energieke paarden, een onderwerp dat hem brede erkenning opleverde. Zijn onderscheidende tekeningen en karikaturen brachten miljoenen vreugde.
From the first publication of Angels on Horseback in 1957, the 'Thelwell pony' entered the language - and the libraries of horse-lovers everywhere. This omnibus edition contains much of Norman Thelwell's invaluable advice to aspiring equestrians on how to get into the saddle and stay there; each item illustrated with inimitable and deadly clarity.
Given that these highly recognizable characters helped marry the Thelwell name to horses and the equestrian experience the world over, a special 100th Anniversary Edition seems fitting.
