Written back in 1933 - John Steinbeck was just 31 when "The Red Pony" was first published in America. Though this is clearly not one of Steinbeck's great novels (they would, of course, come in due time), it is still a fairly well-written story and a quick-read at only 100 pages. In the years that followed "The Red Pony", Steinbeck wrote such unforgettable classics as "Of Mice And Men" and "The Grapes Of Wrath" (which were both adapted into movies). In 1962 John Steinbeck was awarded the Noble Prize for Literature. He died in 1968 at the age of sixty-six.
