Publisher's Synopsis
In The Small Green Halter Janet Baker-Carr describes how a donkey participated in the efforts of World Wars I and II while enriching the lives of everyone who loved her. With clarity and humor, the author illuminates the bonds of affection that strengthen and sustain, even-perhaps especially- amidst the ravages of war.
Based on a true story, the book is informed by the author's deep love of animals and draws upon her experiences as a young child in rural England during World War II as well as her memories of travelling in France in 1946. The Small Green Halter quietly reveals how war changes everything.
