"A small, sophisticated, elegantly sentimental journey through a New Hampshire village summer. Our companions are an aging poet, who is sad because he can no longer write--he has lost the joy he used to have in simply being alive-and a young, mischievous female donkey, who is sad because she can't run and play--she has a touch of arthritis. . . .
