Contents

  • In this, the sixth Jill book, Jill Crewe tells of the summer when she was fourteen and afflicted by two unhorsy guests, Melly and Lindo Cortman.
  • Jill's troubles increase when the Cortmans suddenly begin to take an interest in horses. Their mother buys them a superb mare, Blue Shadow, who is much too good for them and whom Jill covets desperately.
  • But though Melly and Lindo seem to be merely exasperating 'pot-hunters', by the time the Chatton show comes along Jill realises that the Cortman kids are not so unsporting after all.
