John Steinbeck Series: Little Red Horse
About This Novel
"The Little Red Horse" is a collection of short stories published by Steinbeck in 1937. It consists of four short stories: "The Gift", "The Mountain", "The Promise" and "The Chief of the People". The child protagonist Jody writes about the birth, old age, illness and death of the horse, various labors, the process of moving westward, and the fate of the elderly in their old age. All of this left a mark on Jodi's young mind, either with joy, worry, longing, or sadness. In this collection of short stories, Steinbeck created a children's world in which there are no fairies or giants. Children can see colors more clearly than adults, experience them more intensely than adults, and children's momentary sadness also appears more unique. The work exudes the earthy atmosphere of the countryside, intertwined with the subtle changes in children's mentality, achieving a refreshing and gratifying effect.
