As someone with a fondness for, but little knowledge of donkeys and their kin, I found this book to be an enlightening introduction to the long and often abusive relationship humans have with the species. I enjoyed the author's unreservedly pro-donkey attitude as she describes their origins and domestication, depictions in mythology, history and religion, uses in colonisation and war, and finally depictions in literature and art throughout the ages.
