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. Interspersed
throughout the book are other ‘donkey-related’
sections on a slightly different theme. 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 how loves donkeys.

THE AUTHOR
Dr Svendsen MBE 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. Dr Svendsen has written numerous
books, including The Complete Book of the Donkey
(Kenilworth Press, translated into German, Spanish
and French). She now works on a part-time basis for
her beloved donkeys.
