Deborah Dent and Her Donkey and Madam Fig's Gala Two Humorous Tales

Meet Deborah Dent, the proud owner of Bundle’em Jig, a remarkably decorated donkey whose talents seem limited only by his owner’s imagination. She sends him from Brighton outings and racecourses toward grander careers as a doctor, schoolmaster, lawyer, and artist, with comic results at every turn. Told in lively rhymes and catchy refrains, this tale pokes fun at vanity, fashion, and the eagerness to appear clever.

The second story opens at Johnny Fig’s busy green-and-white grocery, where Madam Fig is determined to prove that no village celebration can match her gala. Neighbours arrive in their finest clothes, singers perform bold comic numbers, and even a tub of salted beef becomes part of the entertainment. With its bustling cast, absurd mishaps, food-themed verses, and playful social satire, this collection is suited to listeners who enjoy old-fashioned nonsense, theatrical humour, and cheerful storytelling.
