Anna Mary, a horseback librarian in Kentucy, faithfully delivers the perfect book to various families and children. Readers briefly witness the challenging conditions these librarians experienced. Ms. Yolen explains in the author's note that Anna Mary is not real person but a combination of the many "book ladies" who brought books and the love of literature to individuals in remote areas during the 1930s.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
