About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

[Sam Schroder · Rating 3 out of 5]

It has taken Evie and I a few sleepovers to work our way through all the stories in this book. They’re all very sweet and very age-appropriate and the illustrations are lovely. But we weren’t frantic to get back to it and I think Evie listened to the last couple of stories a bit begrudgingly just to keep pesky old grandma happy. My favourite story was Dapplebright and Evie’s was Pegasus. Each of the stories is a retelling of a children’s story from around the world with a horse or pony as an integral part of the story. For a while there, I thought horses might be Evie’s thing, her passion, obsession. But I’m pretty sure she’s decided to stick with annoying her brother and watching other kids open toys on YouTube as her favourite things to do.

Beautiful cover, beautiful stories, beautiful illustrations, beautiful book.

This is a collection of short tales involving the magical creatures that are horses. Some were memorable and adventurous, a few were simple and straightforward, while others were felt like they didn't serve much purpose. I enjoyed the book immensely, however, because it proves that imagination knows no bounds and magic is possible.

One is never too old for fairytales, don't fight me on this!
