| 520 | _a"Us, and our donkey" by Amy Le Feuvre is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. Told by lively Grisel Marjoribanks, it follows a clergyman’s spirited children in a rural English village as they scheme to buy a donkey, tumble into scrapes, and absorb gentle Christian lessons. The cast includes practical Denys, dreamy Aylwin, mischievous Lynette, and earnest little Puff, with village life, churchgoing, and neighborly ties shaping their adventures. The opening of the story introduces the Marjoribanks family’s move to a Lincolnshire rectory after their mother’s death, their new house and garden, and the children’s plan to earn money for a donkey. Each tries a scheme: Lynette makes toffee for the village shop; Grisel secretly rides the carrier’s cart to market to sell flowers and vegetables (earning praise and a quiet rebuke from her father); Denys sells trout after an awkward brush with the squire’s private water; and Aylwin labors in the hayfields. Church life and the knight’s motto “Semper fidelis, semper paratus” frame the moral tone, while Lynette’s impulsiveness leads to a runaway-pony incident that results in new friendships with Clarice and Beatrice at the Hall. A Sunday sermon on “Come, Go, Do” nudges Denys to teach the infants’ class, and little Puff’s earnest prayers are “answered” when Granny sends money—bringing the donkey dream within reach.
