The Wisdom Of Donkeys
In 2003, weary of city life, Andy Merrifield left for Southern France and embarked upon a journey of the soul. This book is the story of that slow pilgrimage, on which his only companion is a donkey, Dribouille (Scribble), a tender and intelligent beast, following in the footsteps of Robert Louis Stevenson, and his donkey, some 130 years after they originally trekked through the same region. He marvels at his tranquil surroundings, and the universality of nature, and revels in the oddities of French rural life, all the while musing on the virtues of his humble companion and, indeed, donkeys throughout history.
