I have written this little chicken book in the past few months, and now on my eleventh birthday the story is finished.
The other critters have talked to the world through Uncle Remus. The horses through Black Beauty ; now I wish to give the chickens a chance.
Most of them I write of are members of my own family, so I know them well.
