Why an ebook?
All the articles were previously published in Pony Puzzles and three of the four stories were previously published in Horse Stories That Really Happened. I love my Kindle so creating a Kindle ebook seemed the obvious way to make this material available again, updated where necessary. Since it first came out, I've experimented with the order of the stories a little and the current version is the one I like best.
