Not one man and his dog one boy and his horse
This story takes you back to the miners and how they were treated, this is a good story to read for children and adults the adults will understand why I say this when they read it.

The Nipper
Likewise most other Cathrine Cookson books...this book was hard to put down.At first I thought the story would be around the pony but it developed into a complex story with many strands enveloping the hardship & the kindness of people struggling to put hand to mouth...if you love Cathrine Cookson, you'll love this book too.

What a great story
I loved this book. The horse of the title ends up as a pit pony . A young boy saves his life along with a houseful of people up at the great manor house. A great tale. I can't wait to read more of the Catherine Cookson books I have saved in my library.

A good tale
A typical story from this author, vividly describes life in the coal mine, must have taken a lot of research or perhaps she just has plenty of imagination.

Short read, the Nipper
The nipper was OK but not as good as the silent lady the Nipper was a bit boring &, not long enough.

Not just a Galloway Pony!
Absolutely loved this Catherine Cookson story! Wonderful central character in 'The Nipper' who held this historically based story together well. It is some time since I read a Catherine Cookson book and this one didn't disappoint. Highly recommend it to any fan as it will hold you all the way through.
