Contents

  • The plot centres round the irrepressible pony Adam, whom Sue lends to a friend with unforeseen and nearly disastrous results. Sue has to bear her anxieties in a house cut off from the outer world by a blizzard and without Collin to share them, for he is standing by Miss Popham, in the equally isolated lonely homestead a few miles away between the moor and the coast.
  • There is a backgorund of hard fact behind this story. Between the end of January and the middle of March 1947 the inhabitants of Exmoor, both two and four legged, were indeed cut off from the world by the great blizzard that swept Somerset and left roads round Porlock and Exford impassable to wheel traffic.
