    FROM SARAH:

    This beautiful picture book represents the stories of many brave women who traveled the dangerous paths of Appalachia to deliver books to families in the hills of Kentucky. If you loved Books Up the Mountain by Caroline Starr Rose, you'll be sure to enjoy Books By Horseback.

    FROM THE PUBLISHER:

    Edith, a young Pack Horse Librarian, and her faithful horse Dan, adventure through rough terrain and a pending storm in order to deliver books to kids who desperately need them in this richly illustrated tale. Edith, like all Pack Horse Librarians, heroically risked their own safety to serve the most vulnerable members of their community. Librarians like Edith helped an entire generation learn to read and gain lifesaving knowledge in a critical time in history.
