Egg and I

<p><strong>A work of real comic genius. . . . A wonderful funny warm honest book and to use a much overused word a classic. </strong>--<strong>Michael Korda author of <em>Country Matters</em></strong></p><p>When Betty MacDonald married a Marine and moved to a small chicken farm on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State she was largely unprepared for the rigors of life in the wild. With no running water no electricity a house in need of constant repair and days that ran from four in the morning to nine at night the MacDonalds had barely a moment to put their feet up and relax. And then came the children. Yet through every trial and pitfall--through chaos and catastrophe--this indomitable family somehow mercifully never lost its sense of humor.</p><p>A beloved literary treasure for more than half a century Betty MacDonald's <em>The Egg and I</em> is a heartwarming and uproarious account of adventure and survival on an American frontier.</p>
