This is a book that I loved and read several times as a child. It would probably be considered politically incorrect today, but I found it to be an interesting story.

The Donkey Boy is an orphan raised by Native Americans who very reluctantly goes to work for a wealthy immigrant Spanish family. The family has very dissimilar twin daughters. One is gentle and kind, the other is a bit of a cranky drama queen. The hero is supposed to be their particular servant.

The books is illustrated with black and white photographs. ( )
