Per and the Dala Horse by Rebecca Hickox

Illustrated by Yvonne Gilbert.

Set in a Swedish village long ago, Per and the Dala Horse is the charming tale of a young boy's quest to recover a golden chalice stolen by trolls. When an old farmer dies, he leaves all his worldly possessions to his three sons. The eldest inherits the farm. The middle son receives a fine riding horse. But Per, the youngest son, receives only a beautifully carved and painted wooden horse.

The beautifully costumed characters, rich patterns, and distinctive borders lend a decorative quality to the pages to make an appealing adventure story!
