Leonardo's Horse

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Hudson Talbott. In 1482, Leonardo da Vinci began work on a mammoth bronze horse but never completed it. Half a millennium later, retired pilot Charles Dent dedicated himself to re-creating Leonardo's dream, a venture eventually realized with the help of sculptor Nina Akamu. Fritz's narrative, while engaging, begs several questions, and Talbott's handsome artwork is no more forthcoming than the text.
