A wonderful treat for everyone who loves donkeys, this well written and beautifully illustrated book is packed with advice on the care and welfare of these charming 'beasts of burden'.
An absorbing book that cannot fail to enchant and move readers, I would heartily recommend it as the definitive guide to donkey care and management. -- from Equestrian Trade News (UK)
