Okay, so today's blog involves yet another John Steinbeck story, "The Red Pony." (I have collection of short stories...stand by for "The Pearl".)The Red Pony is basically an anthology of four brief tales of ranch living concerning the same family and their ranch-hand Billy Buck. Some of the stories are filled with the strife so focal to Steinbeck's rural masterpieces. Yes, this also takes place near Monterrey, California, Steinbeck's most favorite place in the world.
The work's protagonist is a young child, Jody and the lessons he learns through the troubles of life, and sometimes death.
Well worth the short time it takes to read.
