Minnie Rose Lovgreen's Recipe for Raising Chickens: 86-yr-old farmwoman's lively advice
I love this book--written in such a natural, endearing voice--makes me want to climb into a hammock in the middle of a green field, breathe in a farm and listen to the chickens cluck. ANNA QUINN, THE WRITERS' WORKSHOPPE, PORT TOWNSEND, WA --NW Trillium Press It is one of those remarkable lucky strokes of fate that Minnie arranged to sail on the Titanic, but when the ship wasn't ready, came across on another boat. In any case, this charming little book, a veritable bible on how to raise chickens, is being pushed into a local best-seller by Minnie Rose's neighbors and friends. EMMETT WATSON, SEATTLE PI, APRIL, 1975 --NW Trillium Press A priceless present to chicken lovers everywhere....a hand-lettered, illustrated, 30-page booklet that I checked out of my public library close to 30 years ago. Once I'd read it, I knew I needed my own copy, but the book had gone out of print, so I borrowed my favorite portions of it writing down parts of her recipe and following it over the years. Last summer, I received a press release about its 3rd release, (with the book) autographed by Nancy, and knew it was cause for celebration! With ageless mother wit and pluck, a voice from a lost world that is VERY relevant to modern-day chicken lovers.
