Travels Without A Donkey carries on from Richard Donald’s successfulFrench Leave,
continuing his light-hearted accounts of experiences in France and many other
countries. Coping with a pregnant donkey in Greece, skinny-dipping in
Switzerland, bashing pans on the balconies of Barcelona, narrowly escaping
brigands in Mexico and learning of an unreported murder in the Czech Republic
are deftly captured in words and drawings.Illustrated by Gennie de Lange.
Delightful, both story and illustrations.What fun, a great summer
read.
About
the author
Richard Donald, who in a previous life was a medical professor,
has been seduced from science to
art. He and his wife
Gennie de Lange, a well-known ceramicist, have a small apartment in the south
of France which has survived three centuries. That, and a townhouse in
Christchurch which has endured three major earthquakes,have given them vantage
points at opposite ends of the earth as they set off on their travels.
