Asal eisceachtúil is ea Napolean atá níos cliste, níos fadcheannaí agus níos géarchúisí ná aon asal dár mhair riamh. Cuirtear síos sa leabhar seo ar a chuid eachtraí éagsúla ina léirítear a bhuanna iomadúla. Níl sé gan locht, áfach, nó uaireanta géilleann sé dá dhrochmhéin sula bhfilleann sé ar bhealach a leasa i ndeireadh na dála.

Is úrscéal morálta é seo ón naoú haois déag a aistríodh ón bhFraincis. Bhí ráchairt mhór air mar leabhar i dteangacha éagsúla ar feadh na mblianta fada. Is breá go bhfuil an saothar seo ar fáil as Gaeilge anois agus cuirfidh léitheoirí óga fáilte ar leith roimhe ó tharla ábhar léitheoireachta den chineál seo ar an ngannchuid sa Ghaeilge.

Napolean is an exceptional donkey who is more intelligent, far-sighted and sharper than any donkey that has ever lived. This book describes his various adventures in which his many talents are shown. He is not without fault, however, or sometimes succumbs to his ill-will before ultimately returning to the path of his good.

This is a nineteenth century moral novel translated from French. It was very popular as a book in different languages for many years. It is great that this work is now available in Irish and young readers will especially welcome it since this type of reading material is in short supply in Irish.
