Ebook: A Donkey On The Catwalk: Tales of life in Greece (The Peloponnese Series Book 4)

"The stories in A Donkey On The Catwalk are funny, poignant and utterly fascinating."

The 4th book in the best-selling Peloponnese series, A Donkey On The Catwalk is a stunning collection of original stories and travel narratives, many of them following the adventures of Marjory, Jim and their lovable terrier Wallace in rural Greece. Once again there are comical and insightful tales of life in wild and memorable locations.

While this book can be read as a standalone, loyal readers will be further enlightened by the escapades of the unforgettable farmer Foteini: her unique take on life; her outrageous ‘fashions’, including a makeshift shoe design you will never forget, and her ‘haute couture’ offerings for Riko the donkey.

As well as tales of the Peloponnese, there are stories from other Greek locations the couple have visited, including Pelion and the islands of Santorini and Corfu. This book also offers a fascinating glimpse into some of the author’s earliest trips to Greece with tales that have not been published before, including a year of teaching English in Athens during a dangerous time of political upheaval; a humorous story of facing up to bizarre religious relics in Corfu; and a long sabbatical in Crete that didn’t quite go to plan, with a hint of unexpected romance in an idyllic setting.

This book also includes some of the author's photographs of her travels in Greece.
