Katy's birthday doesn't feel very special, until she discovers a tiny newborn foal on the moor. It walks right up to her with wobbly steps, and Katy is spellbound. As she reaches out and touches its forehead, Katy longs for the foal to be hers. But how will she ever persuade her family?About the Author
Victoria Eveleigh was born in London, but her heart has always been in the countryside and she spent as many of her school holidays as possible at West Ilkerton Farm – her grandmother’s farm on Exmoor.
After completing a masters degree in farm business management, Victoria lived at West Ilkerton and worked part-time for the Exmoor National Park Authority, creating information leaflets and guided walks. Soon she met Chris, who was the farm manager on a nearby farm. They married in 1986 and spent their honeymoon on Lundy, an island off the North Devon coast. Lundy has become a special place for them, and they return whenever they can.
For the past 24 years Chris and Victoria have farmed West Ilkerton. Their son, George, was born in 1987 and their daughter, Sarah, in 1990.
In 2001 Victoria created Tortoise Publishing. Her first pony story for children Katy’s Exmoor was published in 2002. The sequel Katy’s Exmoor Adventures and the final part of the trilogy Katy’s Exmoor Friends followed in 2003 and 2005 respectively. Chris illustrated all three. To date about 35,000 copies have been sold.
Their latest book Midnight on Lundy was published in October 2009.
