Description

---

This beautifully illustrated anthology contains stories of many donkeys the majority of whom have been taken into care by The Donkey Sanctuary at its various sanctuaries throughout Europe, as well as some who have been cared for by their teams who work overseas. Each letter of the alphabet is covered and in each there are two parts the first part is about donkeys whose name begins with that letter and the second concerns donkey facts, people and places. We learn about Naughty Face, the donkey who started it all and his companion Angelina; the children who have benefited from the work of The Elisabeth Svendsen Trust for Children & Donkeys, and lots of little known facts such as that a zeedonk is the offspring of a male zebra and female donkey. This delightful compilation will appeal to everyone who loves donkeys.

Elisabeth D. Svendsen founded and registered The Donkey Sanctuary as a charity in 1973. Over 14,500 donkeys have been taken into care since then, and the Charity's work overseas has enabled hundreds and thousands of working donkeys in developing centres around the world being given free veterinary treatment. She now works on a part-time basis for her beloved donkeys.
