This time her central figures are an aging poet, Andy Lightfoot, and a donkey, Whiffenpoof, whom Andy borrows for the summer. Andy is in the doldrums because he has lost his muse. Whiffenpoof, too, has a problem - her arthritic ankles keep her from running free. As the tale unfolds we watch these two innocents coming to know each other, until at the end they indulge in some wild capers in which the whole village joins." Price: 25.00 USD
