Written by Gardner F. Fox and illustrated by Jon Chester Kozlak, this 1944 adventure blends whimsy and mystery in a tale that’s as much about the art of deception as it is about the search for a mythical steed. The cover, a collaborative effort by E. E. Hibbard, Harry G. Peter, and Martin Naydel, captures the story’s playful intrigue with a vivid, dynamic scene.
