In Ethiopia with a Mule

In 1966 Dervla Murphy travelled the length and breadth of Ethiopia, first on a mule, Jock, whom she named after her publisher, and later on a recalcitrant donkey. The remarkable achievement was not surviving three armed robberies or the thousand-mile trail, but the gradual growth of affection for and understanding of another race.
