From The Red Fairy Book by Andrew Lang, 1890
This story comes from The Red Fairy Book, a collection of folk tales published by Andrew Lang in 1890. Andrew Lang collected fairy tales and old stories from many countries so children everywhere could enjoy them. This story is a Norwegian tale about courage, loyalty and a magical horse. The text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. Stories like this remind us that the greatest adventures often come from the bond between a person and a loyal friend who believes in them.
