The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
Tomas lived in a small fishing village on the Danube in Yugoslavia with his mother and little sister. Ever since his father's death, his most treasured possession was Jascha, his donkey. Times were hard and Jascha helped to deliver fish so Tomas could earn some money. A horse dealer, who had also lent Tomas' mother money, wanted Jascha for his son, and forced his mother to give up the donkey in payment of the debt. Tomas was heartbroken and from then on he and his friends kept trying to get Jascha back. Not until two bears escape from a traveling circus is Tomas able to redeem Jascha.
