CACKLES AND LAYS
RHYMES OF A HENWIFE. By Margaret Lavington.
With numerous Illustrations by Helen Urquhart.
Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d. net.If Ann and Jane Taylor had lived in the twentieth century and taken to keeping poultry for profit in war time, they would probably have had a laudable desire to inculcate the principles and practice of hen-keeping among the young. But unless they had developed an unexpected sense of humour they wouldn't have produced anything like "Cackles and Lays," for while some of Margaret Lavington's rhymes are practical and sprightly, others are just delightfully whimsical and humorous.
