The enchanting story of a man who drops everything to rescue a young donkey. A wonderful gift book for all travelers and those longing for distant places, for all lovers of donkeys, English gentlemen, and stories that one carries with them for a lifetime - written as elegantly, playfully, and charmingly as only the British can. On a journey in Pakistan, Mr. B, a British gentleman, sees a small donkey: her back is heavily loaded, and her thin legs tremble under the weight. Without hesitation, Mr. B jumps out of the carriage, determined to take care of the animal and bring her home. The only problem: his home is in London, and a donkey cannot travel by plane. So Mr. B and Pawlowa, as he names the donkey from that moment on, embark on a long journey through the Middle East to Europe - on foot.
