Reddit mentions of My Little Pony: The Art of Equestria

In the Forward of The Art of Equestria, Jayson Thiessen, then Supervising Director at DHX Media wrote:

> Equestria is a fantasy storybook world that sits somewhere between the medieval period and the Edwardian era of the very early 1900s...the technology that exists is limited to what could exist in that period.

He goes on to say they sometimes bend this rule when the story or joke requires, but try to keep those instances limited.

While the Asgrdians use the "magic is advanced technology" model, Pony seem to use the "magic is distinct from the mundane" type of fantasy.

EDIT: Added a link for the book, which is an interesting read.

oops, I was thinking of the artbook but after checking it does indeed appear to be in the guidebook.

I see. Do you two not get along or aren't that close?

For some really general recommendations, there's the Art of Equestria book, the 4DE plushies or maybe one of the comics omnibus?

Then again, if he's really into the fandom and makes his own plushies, he may have all these things. Do you know if he has a favourite pony?

I only mentioned thoughtful because that's my gift giving preference.
