A linked set of stories set on a ranch. It's both an animal story and a coming of age story. Steinbeck had a tendency to sentimentalize or beat you over the head with a message, but that's largely absent here, which makes it one of his most simple and straightforward books. Made into a film with Robert Mitchum.
