Books by horseback : a librarian's brave journey to deliver books to children

Berne, Emma Carlson (author. ). Urbinati, Ilaria, (illustrator.).

Summary: Edith is a young packhorse librarian who journeys with her beloved horse, Dan, to deliver books to families in rural Kentucky. Packhorse librarians braved the harsh, but majestic, Appalachian Mountains during the Great Depression, bringing books, recipes, and news to families in need. Join Edith and Dan as they climb mountains, cross creeks, and race a pending storm in order to get books to children who desperately need them. -- From inside book jacket.
