SIGNED BY STEINBECK
The Red Pony “Nothing could be more starkly simple than this new book, The Red Pony, which consists merely of three episodes in the life of a 10-year-old boy. In other hands, these slight, delicate stories, quite unremarkable in theme, might have struck one as somewhat jejune and certainly not exciting. As it is, they are pure gold and furnish the most exacting proof he has given of Mr. Steinbeck’s artistry.” –Edith H.
