My sister bought it for me as a Christmas gift for that reason. I live in and like Maine, gin is one of my favorite liquors, and I’ve probably mentioned here or there that chickens would be cool to have. The correspondence starts off kind of slow and business-like but really grows into a warm friendship that continues throughout their lives. I liked the little joking jibes they trade and the concern they each have for each other when things go awry. There’s a little bit of business present from start to finish as both were accomplished writers working contemporaneously. And there’s a lot of enthusiasm when it comes in particular to the chickens. EB White evidently was an expert on the subject and included plenty of helpful advice as Smith started up his enterprise. Smitty wrote to Whitey a recipe for a Lime Rickey that I recreated and tasted pretty delightful though strong. Reading the letters really makes you feel a little like you’re a part of their friendship as you experience that same warmth they shared. I enjoyed it! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
