Mules in the Mission House

by Judy Wright

A jolly canter through four amazing years which the author spent in North Africa in the 1960’s. In her time there Judy worked with the poorest people who had nothing but an animal with which to scrape a living. In a matter-of-fact style, the author takes us through the ups and downs of daily life, often in the most remote of places. In the course of her narrative she skilfully recaptures the characters and times from what is now a bygone age. And threaded throughout her story are the animals she nursed back to health or saved from a pitiful life. “How I had loved my few years in North Africa. How I loved the people and how much I’d learned from them all. It was the most incredible experience that I wouldn’t have missed for the World!”
