Why read it?
1 author picked A Pony Called Lightning as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
In 1948, my life focused on horses, and this was my favorite book.
Pictures were always a plus since dyslexia (though undiagnosed at that point) made reading difficult.
I have no memory of how well the book might have been written. Most likely I didn’t care, never suspecting I’d become a writer. I lived and worked on a farm, eventually running a boarding stable.
The book didn’t have the horror or the humor, but Lightning’s gratifying story of achievement gave me hope for the future, unlike Black Beauty which filled me with horror. I couldn’t read it to my children.

From E.B.'s list on humor about surviving family and dementia.
