While bogged down in traffic in the teeming streets of Peshawar, BBC historian Mr. B bolts from his car and film crew to rescue a tiny donkey, her back punctured with wounds from a saddle she was too young to carry. In the inexplicable way that one being is catapulted into the life of another, Mr. B decides that he cannot abandon the donkey, which he names Pavlova, to the burdens of Pakistani life. Instead, he vows to transport her to his home in London, but sadly, his traveling companions want no part of the caper. Thus stranded, Mr. B and Pavlova start the journey of a thousand miles on foot, only to be rescued numerous times along the way by the kindness of strangers who provide food, shelter, and all manner of transportation. 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.
