A Ride on the Red Mare's Back by Ursula K. Le Guin

4.0

This is a really sweet kind-of-fable written by Ursula Le Guin inspired by the Swedish Dala horse. I'm not sure I would have picked this book up, if not for the display I made for the author's passing. I've read several of her adult titles, but this is my first venture into her works for children. I enjoyed the language and tone, which did just enough to set the scene without being too challenging. The illustrations were really tremendous, too.
