Betty Bard MacDonald (1907-1958), the best-selling author of The Egg and I and the classic Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle children's books, burst onto the literary scene shortly after the end of WWII. Readers embraced her memoir of her years as a young bride operating a chicken ranch on Washington's Olympic Peninsula. This is a biography of an endearing Northwest storyteller that reveals the story behind the memoirs.
