What is The Egg and I about?

<p>When Betty MacDonald married a marine and moved to a small chicken farm on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, she was largely unprepared for the rigors of life in the wild. With no running water, no electricity, a house in need of constant repair, and days that ran from four in the morning to nine at night, the MacDonalds had barely a moment to put their feet up and relax. And then came the children. Yet through every trial and pitfall—through chaos and catastrophe—this indomitable family somehow, mercifully, never lost its sense of humor.</p> <p>A beloved literary treasure for more than half a century, Betty MacDonald's <b>The Egg and I</b> is a heartwarming and uproarious account of adventure and survival on an American frontier.</p> <p>The author relates the joys and frustrations of life on a poultry farm in the mountains of Washington. </p>
