REVIEW
The classic poem is reproduced with artwork of a young woman and her faithful quiet horse. The quality of the light through snowclouds is well realised, dark evergreen forest and hushing drifts on all sides. While the rider is shown dismounting and embracing the weather, I would not do this myself, because the horse would need to get to a stable and a blanket, and shouldn't be made to travel through deep snow, especially with a rider's weight. I saw the poem as a rider pausing to check their path, making sure the horse was breathing okay, and maybe brushing snow off their shoulders. Then moving along, with care. Before the snow got deeper. Enjoy, this will be good for primary school readers and will help them to memorise the poem. I read this at the Dublin Book Festival. This is an unbiased review.
