| Notes: | When Betty MacDonald married and moved to a small farm on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, she was largely unprepared for the rigors of life in the wild. 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, with barely a moment to put one’s feet up. And then she met the neighbors ... But the MacDonalds managed to keep their sense of humor. COMMENTS — The Perennial Library edition includes a foreword by Betty MacDonald’s children that tells how the family’s fame as a result of The Egg and I changed their lives. |
