in 2001, Nancy published A Good Horse Has No Color- Searching Iceland for the Perfect Horse. Nancy Marie Brown and her husband, the writer Charles Fergus, have lived in Iceland and come to know the people, their language and lore, the land, and the environment. I would like to thank all who created this event, especially Michael Good, general books manager at the Cornell Store Ellen Marsh, Chris Phillip, and the entire library communications team Elena Engst, director of the Division of Rare Manuscript Collections, and Connie Fennerty of the division.

This reading is sponsored by the Division of Rare Manuscript Collections, Cornell University Library, home the renowned Fiske Icelandic Collection, of which I have the honor to be curator. There are a number of copies you will see around here as the afternoon progresses. It is a pleasure to welcome all of you today to a reading by Nancy Marie Brown, author of The Far Traveler. I'm curator of the Fiske Collections here at the Division of Rare Manuscript Collections, Cornell University Library. SPEAKER 1: This is a production of Cornell University.
