A TEENAGER who became an author last year has written a sequel about her miniature Shetland pony with dwarfism.
Inspired by her new pet pony’s antics, Hannah Russell, then 17, from Leyburn, wrote The Magical Adventure of Little Alf – the Discovery of the Wild Pony, last year.
Now 18, Hannah has followed up its success with a second adventure and has even more planned. She said: “My first book took six months to complete and I was pleased as I sold a lot more than I thought. The second was a little easier to write and is much better as it is longer and has more photographs in.”
Her new book is another adventure story and is intended for children of any age.
She said: “The next Alfie adventure is a Christmas book. I’d like to write a series of books for teenagers. A share of the profit on my books go to Riding for the Disabled.”
The Magical Adventure of Little Alf – the Enchanted Forest is priced £6.99 and available from www.littlealf.com or the Quaint and Quirky shop in Railway Street, Leyburn. People can also follow Alfie’s adventures on his blog, itslittlealf.tumblr.com.
