As an exhibited artist, Peter still paints on occasion, yet writing remains his principle passion. RETURN TO LYNDON GATE is his first adult novel - an idea, he says, which has been haunting him for over 20 years.

Idk why I’m reading books for children but tbh they’re not that bad😭

This is my first encounter with the Shetland pony Sheltie and Emma, the girl who loves him. They are a delightful pair. The book is written for elementary aged children, but the adults reading this with their children won't mind the choice at all. The dialog is natural and the plot is easy to follow. The family dynamic is nice as well. The book has some black and white illustrations that go nicely with the story.

I read this when I was in about 2nd Grade and enjoyed it. I read it on the way to my aunt's house ( a six hour trip! ) and liked it alot! It's about a horse named Sheltie and his adventures and one dangerous mishap.... he falls in a frozen lake and his keeper, a little girl, help save him.
