MacDonald, Betty: The Egg and I, v1, 9 March 2010.
Betty MacDonald [1908?–1958]
The Egg and I [1945]

An amusing account of the author's experience as a poultry farmer in Washington State, which became a huge bestseller, and was later filmed.
Sourced from Project Gutenberg Canada.

The funny thing about this is, my family used to live near this location. My father and grandfather KNEW the people involved. Betty MacDonald took a few liberties in describing the people. Oh well. But Egg and I road still exists....

How interesting. Wikipedia notes that one local family sued for defamation, but the case was settled out of court.
