Product Description

Synopsis
Author Philip Allott was born in 1959 and brought up in the small market town of Knaresborough. His family life might well have been the same as any other young person's, except for one major difference - Philip's father was a donkeyman. For nearly forty years David Allott, better known as Donkey Dave, bred, hired out, gave rides with and raced a troupe of super donkeys. Donkey Dave was a real old-fashioned eccentric and an outspoken northern character. In this moving, and at times very gritty book, Philip gives us a unique insight into the strange world of his father's life and business. If you are interested in animals, and northern humour with a sense of justice, or are merely in search of a good read, this gripping and often very frank and colourful account has been written just for you. This title includes foreword by Anne Widdecombe MP.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read, 30 Jun 2009
By DCH (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
This is an entertaining book even if you don't much like donkeys, as there's not so much about the donkeys themselves, more about the life and times of the eponymous donkeyman, David Allott, written by his son. (Eponymous -- I've always wanted to use that word! ;)

Times have certainly changed since the 1950s. A lot of what the donkeyman got up to on a regular basis would be banned by the Health and Safety brigade nowadays!
