Book Description
Some believe that extraordinary things can only arise from the ordinary. Whether it be the strange tale of a man cursed by a cat, or the sinister story of a fraudsters' attempt to con an old lady. It might be the bizarre fable of a mischievous plumbing system or the foreboding account of a late-night reunion in a traditional English pub. Perhaps even the saga of a dinner party from hell. Whichever it may be, one thing remains certain. That nothing is ever certain.

Home to Roost
Author: Bob Sheasley
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 9780312373641
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
Each day, Bob Sheasley leaves Lilyfield Farm and heads into the city. And each day, he brings along a basket of eggs for his coworkers at The Philadelphia Inquirer. Depending on the breed of hen, these eggs may be white, green, rose, blue, or as brown as chocolate. And they are all deliciously fresh, a taste of the rural way of life that people have enjoyed for millennia, one in which chickens have played a supporting role for nearly as long. In Home to Roost, Sheasley tells of the intertwined relationship between humans and chickens. He delves into where chickens came from, what their DNA tells us about our kinship, how we’ve treated our feathered fellow travelers, and the roads we’re crossing together. This is a story of agriculture and human migration, of folk medicine and technology, of how we dreamed of the good life, threw it away, and want it back. Modern farming has changed the lives of both bird and man over the past century. But backyard farmers like Sheasley offer hope for a return to the pleasures of locally grown food, as diverse as the chickens he’s raised on Lilyfield Farm. With wit and personal insight, Home to Roost examines of how our lives can be changed for the better, with something as simple as a backyard coop.

Consider Poor I
Author: Walter Teller
Publisher: Martha's Vineyard Museum
ISBN: 9781429093156
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Nancy Luce, a poor woman in ill health who lived alone and loved her chickens, spent her entire life (1814-1890) on Martha's Vineyard. She also wrote her own unique brand of poetry, which she self-published and sold to the summer trade. Walter Magnes Teller published this appreciation of Luce's life and poetry in 1984, with the help of the Dukes County Historical Society (today the Martha's Vineyard Museum). Said the New York Times, of the work in 1986, ""Reading the book makes one wonder how many Nancy Luces and their male counterparts have existed - sensitive people doomed by invalidism and lack of both financial and emotional support, but determined to leave behind some record, some expression, no matter how meager.""
