Donkey Work Doreen Tovey 9780236308903 Books

Doreen Tovey's books have been a favourite with me for nearly forty years. She writes about her darling cats and donkey with such humour, I often laugh out loud. I never get sick of reading these books and have downloaded them to my Kindle so that I can keep on re-reading them and so has my daughter. We've all lost beloved pets and Doreen takes us through the highs and lows with such charm and wit that it is impossible to be sad for too long. Feel good books for all ages. (Especially if your neighbours think you are a bit barmy)

Great!
I have owned this book for decades and it appeals to readers of all ages. There are no children characters, but kids will enjoy reading about two adults in a cottage in the West Country, because the other main characters are Siamese cats Solomon and Sheba, and donkey Annabel. Annabel is supposed to eat the thistles and bracken, but she comes direct from her mum and she's a bit fussy. Really, she prefers cake. Yes, people come to the gate and feed her cake and bread, so why bother with weeds? Charles her owner tells Doreen that donkeys shouldn't eat sharp dead bracken as it is bad for them. The new stems seem sharpish to them... so Charles gets out his scythe to mow them down like before while Doreen chases the cats and worries that Father Adams and her other neighbours will think she's gone potty.

The tale is a hilarious account of country life and the smallest things are recorded, such as the cats insisting that Doreen wear an old tweed skirt every night so they can sit on her lap. Buy it, love it.
Amusing story for animal lovers.
I am gradually working my way through the set of books and this is as good as all the rest.
This is a fabulous book! It is no longer printed in the hard bound version with the original artist &a well worth the price!! Thanks so much!!
I have a donkey that I rescued and so this book was such a pleasure to read. Donkeys on the whole have a hard time as they are overloaded and abused so it is good to know that there are people out there with kind hearts. This book proves that donkeys are much smarter than people give them credit for. They do get themselves into difficult situations sometimes because they are so inquisitive and I can relate to the episode of where the donkey gets in a fix but has the sense to wait for help. One of the funniest parts is where the donkey collapses regularly at the same spot and has to be revived with whisky - and they call them stupid. A very refreshing read for adults and children alike. Light reading and highly recommended.
