  Title: The Egg and I Author: Betty MacDonald. Read by Heather Henderson Publication Info: Audio book 2015 by Post Hypnotic Press, Inc. Originally published 1945 Source: Library digital resources Publisher’s Blurb: 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.
