Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Mr. B, an English historian in Pakistan working on a documentary, spies a young donkey that has been abused and, leaving his film crew behind, sets out to take the donkey to his home in London.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A short novel that's a treat for animal lovers - an Englishman rescues a mistreated donkey in Pakistan and now both have to travel overland across half the world, home to suburban London.</b> En route, they encounter drug smugglers, carpet salesmen, and hosts of every variety until they finally hitch a lift from Hector, an aristocratic Brit who drives a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, in which the two eccentric Englishmen successfully smuggle the donkey across the English channel. Brian Sewell's short novel has all the characteristics of the best British prose: the wry understatement, the love of travel and adventure, the unremitting affection for animals of all kinds. If you love animals, you'll love joining this journey!</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Praise for <b><i>The White Umbrella</i></b>: </p> <p>"To the list of beloved tales about loyal dogs and freckle-faced boys, graying spinsters and inscrutable cats, even winsome elephants and empathetic caretakers, add the late British art critic Sewell's sweetly endearing story of a man and his donkey, wittily illustrated by Sally Ann Lasson."--<i>Booklist Review</i></p> <p>"A beautifully written book which should become a classic."--<i>The Times</i> (London)</p> <p>"There is constant pleasure in Sewell's prose: the elegance of phrase, the wry humor and the clarity of insight."--<i>The Independent on Sunday</i></p><br>
