Like everyone else I’ve heard White on NPR but this is the first of her books I’ve read. This is sort of a memoir of her life in Florida told in anecdotal fits and starts and starring herself, her mother who runs off with a boat load of anthropologists, the local ornithologists who put abandoned wild turkey eggs in Bailey’s bed when she’s running a fever to properly incubate them, the alligator pod seduced by Jane Austen, and the grandparent who brought in a twenty-foot model of the Titanic to help her teach her first-graders to read. And many more. Fun.
A thought: This book would make for great bedtime stores.
