MJ's little flock

Was that copy in Latin? (I don't read Latin, I'm making an educated guess)
Provided your copy is in English...

It is in English. But I am revising my opinion it was my grandfather’s as it has a name handwritten inside which I don’t recognize. Hmmm. A mystery.
This gem was given to my Dad for Christmas in 1924 by his Aunt. He would have been too young to read it for himself so maybe she read it to him? I only very vaguely remember her but a decade or two ago I learned some things about her that made me respect her enormously so I am very glad I have this book.

And one damp little hen takes shelter in the back porch while her friends take theirs under the rainwater tank.

I just love when poofy hairdos get wet. They look so bedraggled.

It looks like it has been well loved. There is a lot of "home history" to be found in these type of books. I'm glad you are still using it.

I love the phrase "home history".

I wonder if I should order a new edition so I don't ruin it.

See this is where I wonder if I could read it too. But I think you should read that version if you are going to. Why else have the book? It is and wants to be read.

I am with you - but I don't think I should read it in bed as I have a habit of falling asleep mid chapter and rolling over on the book!

I would read it at a desk. Never in bed. Same thing happens to me when I read in bed.
