Extravagance of Donkeys

'Every once in a while a book comes along that tells true stories truly. No affectation. No prettying up'stories of reality with all of its mystery and beauty. There is a core of honesty in these narratives, each one rendered with wit and insight. Baker-Carr has a deft touch; she sees clearly and with love. No wonder donkeys recognize her as a kindred spirit. These are stories to savor, to read aloud, to re-read, to put away like a box of chocolates and then choose to have just one more. Playful, authentic, cheery, and poignant, An Extravagance of Donkeys is good for the soul and spirit. I never realized what I had missed by my lack of affinity for those creatures we tend to mock. Thank goodness there has been a chance to fill that gap.' ?Ellen C. KlyceBaker-Carr, Janet is the author of 'Extravagance of Donkeys ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780595388554 and ISBN 0595388558.
