Winni Allfours: Difference between revisions

 

This story is a little different. The plot is simple –

Afterwards, things go uphill for Winni very fast as she trains to become a champion racehorse, under the guidance of Paddy O’Connor. The sneaking machinations of rival jockey Nobbler O’Toole don’t stop her from beating the world record and fulfilling her ambitions. Winni’s parents suggest she’ll turn back into a little girl by eating enough hamburger and chips, promising to buy her a pony. However, Winni declines, choosing to live her dreams as a horse instead.

 

* [[The Ace]]: Winni. Not only does she win her first race, but she succeeds in beating the world record. Amazing what can happen in a kid’s book.

* [[An Aesop]]: Mostly averted. Babette Cole set out to write a fun story, not deliver any Aesops, other than the classic “eat your greens”. Which is just as well. Most whimsical children’s books don’t look that healthy when seen through the lens of an Aesop, but this one counts as a strong offender. Thank you, [[Fridge Logic]]!

* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: Except for her parents, nobody is struck by a racehorse that was once a little girl – and still speaks, too.

** Possibly justified in that Winni’s pony friend, Snowdrop, appears perfectly capable of communicating with her owner Paddy. Averted when Winni steals her kidnappers’ lorry.
