As a young girl I firmly believed that each of these feats were possible and I was always excited as each one happened. I felt the despair when, after all of his hard work and his wonderful adventures, the sled was not there behind the horse. I would turn to the last pages and become so happy that all was saved. To this day, reading this whimsical book never fails to enchant me and bring a smile to my lips. I grew up in a rural area less than a quarter mile from Sam and Zoa Swayne and spent many magical hours listening to him tell his stories but this one was always my favorite.
