Travels in a Donkey Trap

When Daisy Baker acquired a donkey and a trap at the age of 76 she discovered "the freedom of the universe". No longer cramped within the confinement of the four walls of her country cottage, she ventured into the lanes of Devon, England. Leisurely, at the pace of another era, Daisy and her donkey, Darkie, investigate the myriad wonders of the countryside. But for Daisy the external freedom soon mirrors an unfolding inner freedom as she reconciles her own life, past and present, with the changing seasons and living glory of nature. Written in the spirit of sharing a great and valuable gift, the story is to be savoured like the experience of getting to know a friend.
