Jessica's Book Thoughts

I picked this book up at a yard sale when I was about six. The man I bought it from told the title,I thought he had said something like: A Donkey Named Oaty. Well needless to say my young mind thought that just sounded awsome and the size of the book, big plus...bedtime stories forever. After about a week of begging my mom (passed away in 2012 at 50 years old, too young) finally started 'reading' this to me. It wasn't until I had to read this in my first year in college that I realized she had made up every story about Donkey Oaty and his sidekick Serventzo.

Well, today I decoded to stop at a yard sale and found the exact edition my mother used to pretend to read to me. (Hardcover, 1048 pages Published September 26th 1991 by Everyman)

My mother's version was much better.
