Description
The Irish Donkey A new edition of this classic history explores the evolution and significance of the donkey in Ireland's landscape and tradition. From its origins in Africa and central Asia to its arrival in Ireland, the author delves into the multiple uses of the donkey in transport and agriculture. With a focus on the author's own experiences with breeding and welfare, as well as its afterlife in literature, folklore, and mythology, this book offers a unique insight into the life of the donkey. Photographs by the author and others accompany the text, making up a comprehensive history of one of Ireland's most beloved animals. The story of the donkey is told with tender care, tracing its journey from the Bible to modern times, including its role in the Gallipoli Campaign. A select bibliography provides further reading for those interested in this fascinating subject.
