Excerpt from The Adventures of a Donkey: From the French of Mme; La Comtesse De Segur Men not being supposed to be aware of all that don keys know, you, who read this book, are doubtless igno rant Of what is well known to. All my donkey friends, namely: that every Tuesday in the town of Laigle there is held a market, where vegetables, butter, eggs, cheese and other excellent things are sold. This Tuesday is a day of torture for my poor comrades; it was so for me before I was bought by my present good old mistress, your grandmother. I belonged to a farmer's wife, exacting and cruel. Just imagine, my dear little master, that she carried her malice so far as to collect all the eggs her hens laid, all the butter and cheese from her cows' milk, all the vegetables and fruits that ripened during the week, to fill baskets which she placed upon my back.

Excerpt from The Story of a Donkey: Abridged From the French of Madame La Comtesse De Segur I DO not recollect my childhood; I was probably as unhappy as the rest of the little donkeys are; and no doubt as pretty and as graceful. Certainly I was full of wit and intelligence, for, old as I am now, I have more of both than most donkeys possess.

From the INTRODUCTION. IN this book a donkey tells the story of his life and adventures, because, as he says: “I want you to treat all of us donkeys kindly, and to remember that we are often much more sensible than some human beings.” In the preface to the original edition — Mémoirés D'un Ane, published in France in 1860— the donkey speaks very highly of his own wit and intelligence, claiming those qualities in a larger degree than most donkeys possess; and throughout the book he is quite proud of his successes in outwitting some of his masters and mistresses— in fact, his story begins with an account of a trick he played in his youth. The author of The Story of a Donkey was the daughter of Count Rostopchine, Governor of Moscow in 1812, when Napoleon Bonaparte made his disastrous retreat from that city. She became the wife of Count de Ségur, one of the proudest nobles of France, some ten years later, but not until she was nearly sixty years of age did she begin to write books for children, of which she has some twenty to her credit. This book is probably the most popular and entertaining of her works, but because much that appears in the original would interest only French boys and girls, in this version the scene has been taken to England, where donkeys are much more common than with us, and the interesting and amusing adventures of Neddy are told as happening in that country.
