Description
'The Small Miracle' by Paul Gallico is a moving tale set in Assisi, Italy, about Pepino, a young orphan boy whose beloved donkey, Violetta, becomes dangerously ill. Believing that St Francis, who is buried in Assisi, can save her, Pepino attempts to take Violetta into the saint’s crypt, but is repeatedly prevented from doing so by the authorities of the Church. Undeterred, he travels to Rome in the hope of obtaining permission from the Pope himself, driven by his unwavering faith and love for his animal companion. First published by Michael Joseph in 1951, the story explores faith, compassion and the extraordinary determination of a child.
