The Red Pony

No book-club issue of the 1937 limitation exists. Any copy that is illustrated, contains four stories, or arrives in a printed pictorial dust jacket rather than plain glassine is a later Viking edition or reprint, not the Covici-Friede first. The 1945 Viking illustrated edition — textured beige cloth with a pasted-on watercolor of a foal to the upper board, in its own slipcase — was widely reprinted and is the copy most often mistaken for a first.
