Abstract

en_US
This book may have been privately published; it is at least surprising that the publisher's name appears only on the spine and the dust jacket, and not on the title-page or any other page inside the book. The book seems an (auto-?)biographical account of a spirited young woman. It shows up in this collection because it begins on its very first page with the fable of the frog who falls into a milk-pan. The frog struggles and, instead of drowning, churns so vigorously that he creates a roll of butter. The lesson of the engaging life we read thus has to do with exerting oneself, even in difficult circumstances. Molly McHugh was born in 1883. When she was a child, her beloved father told her stories, including--you guessed it--The Fable of the Frog in the Milk Pan. I have read and enjoyed the first fifty pages. They describe a spirited girl growing up in Cleveland, going off to boarding school with the nuns, and making her first communion. I would be glad to read more. And the fable serves well so far as a keynote for the book.
