I am very conservative where language is concerned. Would have been a good story had it not been for the profanity.

Reminiscent of a less-ditzy version of Lisa Douglas in Hooterville. This is the book that introduced the public to the characers Ma and Pa Kettle, who later became the subject of several films, and came to represent "hick" America for a generation or more.

A lovely book, should be read by all starry-eyed would-be homesteaders!

She thinks that chickens are dumb and has a chapter about how she hates baby chicks. Bitter old coot! I have chickens and although they are not rocket scientists they are not dumb. I thought this book would be warm and inspiring like "Little Heathens," but it is not. Grouchy author!
