Golden Gorse

Muriel Wace (1881-1968) was an English children's book author known by the pseudonym Golden Gorse.

Among her works was the popular Moorland Mousie (1929) (illustrated by Lionel Edwards), the story of an Exmoor Pony, believed to be strongly influenced by Anna Sewell's Black Beauty. Wace carefully maintained her anonymity, and did not allow her publishers to disseminate any biographical information about her. She wrote four fictional pony books, in addition to highly regarded instruction manuals.
