I don't really collect Breyer's Halloween Horses - some of them have been a bit scary, in my opinion, whereas I like the happy and fun aspects of the holiday. But I did buy this year's Halloween Horse because it is a connection to classic literature.
Meet Nevermore!
Nevermore, #1800, 2018 Breyer Halloween Horse, 3,000 made, $55, 9/2018, Lynn Anderson/The Model Trading Post.
With my love of classic literature, and having taught it for the past twelve years in my classroom, how could I resist a model based on Edgar Allen Poe's famous poem,
The Raven?
I did resist for a few months after it was announced as I dislike the mold, but in the end I knew I would kick myself for having missed it due to its tie-in to classic literature.
The paint job is lovely - I like the mauve color and the pearly mane and tail. Breyer did beautiful job on this piece!
