Dylan is a dedicated UPS worker. Yes, dedicated UPS workers exist.

When a box arrives at the local UPS office containing a small pony, the staff tries everything they can to deal with it until somebody picks it up.

Rated R for package gore.

The back of this slim volume reads as follows:

On winter's nights, when cold winds blow outside and ponies everywhere huddle around the fireplace, friends and family often pass the time by telling stories to one another. Many of these fanciful tales have been told and re-told for generations, and the most enduring ones have become immortalized in folklore as pony tales.
My brother and I have travelled the land, gathering many of these stories, and now present this collection for your entertainment. We hope you find them as interesting as we did.
