I Can't" Said the Ant I Capture the Castle1939-1942. This is a humorous book, written by a woman I would guess along the lines of Jean McDonald. It took place in the east.It started out, "My family laughed when I sat on the counter with my feet in the sink and said I was going to write a book.

" At one time they lived near the 1939 New York World's Fair and parked cars in their yard to make money. One person who they jamed his old car anywhere turned out to be an ambasador not a waiter. One of the girls in the family got polio and at one time they lived in the country and had chickens and had an outdoor restaurant of sorts where they had to chase the chickens to butcher them so they could cook them.

It was a fairly thick book. Betty MacDonald, The Egg and I I read this book, too, in the 50s.It would be either The Egg and I or Onions in theStew. Both are by Betty MacDonald.

I love this site. The book I am looking for took place in the East whereas Betty McDonald's took place in the NW. I have read all Betty McDonald's books, though similar it isn't Betty McDonald.

Unfortunately this book isn't the Egg and I. All of the books by Betty Macdonald take place in the Pacific Northwest and the rest of the description doesn't match either. H81 I just looked at a copy of Betty MacDonald's Egg and I don't think either of her books fits.

She was born in the west. She raised chickens, of course, but someboody else must have, tøo. I'm trying to think of other authors with that type of humor; I've decided it's not the Gilbreths/ Ernestine Carey either; nor Lasswell.

Maybe one of Jean Kerr's books like Please Don't Eat the Daisies? She was more fifties-era, though. Dodie Smith, I Capture the Castle, c.1948.

Could this be I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith? Its fairly famous opening lines: "I write this sitting in the kitchen sink. That is, my feet are in it the rest of me is on the draining board, which I have padded with our dog's blanket and the tea cosy .... " This is definitely a humorous story about a family.

I Do My Best I think that is the title if this children's book that was purchased in 1966 at a church book store. I can recite the whole book from memory. It begins: The sun peeps in to wake me , I jump up from my rest, I promise God that all day long I'll do my very best.

I wash my face, I brush my teeth, I comb my hair and try, to put away the slippy soap and spread the towel to dry. I would love to purchase a copy of this book for my grandchildren, as it was a favorite of their father. I Think About God, Golden, 1965.

This book contains 2 stories -- Why / Sue Val, ill. Christiane Cassan and I Do My Best / Norah Smaridge, ill. Trina Hyman.

I Do My Best was also released by itself by Golden in 1968. Norah Smaridge, I Do My Best (1965) I was able to locate both copies of the book that was posted in the solution to my stumper. The 1968 edition is exactly like the book I had except for one important difference.My book was soft covered and it was definitely purchased in 1965 or early 1966.

Is it possible it was published by Western Publishing Co. As a soft covered Little Angel Book in 1965, the copyright date? I Do My Best was also released in 1965 by Costello Pub.

Co ("A Little Angel Book") and in 19660 by G. Chapman ("My Little Gift Books"). Don't know if the costello book was hard or soft covered.

THE PURSUIT OF THE HOUSE-BOAT by John Kendrick Bangs CHAPTER I: THE ASSOCIATED SHADES TAKE ACTIONThe House-boat of the Associated Shades, formerly located upon theRiver Styx, as the reader may possibly remember, had been torn fromits moorings and navigated out into unknown seas by that vengefulpirate Captain Kidd, aided and abetted by some of the most ruffianlyinhabitants of Hades. Like a thief in the night had they come, andfor no better reason than that the Captain had been unanimously voteda shade too shady to associate with self-respecting spirits had theymade off with the happy floating club-house of their betters; andworst of all, with them, by force of circumstances over which theyhad no control, had sailed also the fair Queen Elizabeth, thespirited Xanthippe, and every other strong-minded and beautiful womanof Erebean society, whereby the men thereof were rendered desolate. "I can't stand it!" cried Raleigh, desperately, as with hisaccustomed grace he presided over a special meeting of the club,called on the bank of the inky Stygian stream, at the point where themissing boat had been moored.

"Think of it, gentlemen, Elizabeth ofEngland, Calpurnia of Rome, Ophelia of Denmark, and every preciousjewel in our social diadem gone, vanished completely; and with whom? Kidd, of all men in the universe! Kidd, the pirate, the ruffian--""Don't take on so, my dear Sir Walter," said Socrates, cheerfully.

"What's the use of going into hysterics? You are not a woman, andshould eschew that luxury. Xanthippe is with them, and I'll warrantyou that when that cherished spouse of mine has recovered from theeffects of the sea, say the third day out, Kidd and his crew will bewalking the plank, and voluntarily at that.

""But the House-boat itself," murmured Noah, sadly. "That was mydelight.It reminded me in some respects of the Ark. ""The law of compensation enters in there, my dear Commodore,"retorted Socrates.

"For me, with Xanthippe abroad I do not need aclub to go to; I can stay at home and take my hemlock in peace andstraight. Xanthippe always compelled me to dilute it at the rate ofone quart of water to the finger. ""Well, we didn't all marry Xanthippe," put in Caesar firmly,"therefore we are not all satisfied with the situation.

I, for one,quite agree with Sir Walter that something must be done, and quickly. Are we to sit here and do nothing, allowing that fiend to kidnap ourwives with impunity? ""Not at all," interposed Bonaparte.

"The time for action hasarrived. All things considered, he is welcome to Marie Louise, butthe idea of Josephine going off on a cruise of that kind breaks myheart. ""No question about it," observed Dr. Johnson.

"We've got to dosomething if it is only for the sake of appearances. The questionreally is, what shall be done first? ""I am in favor of taking a drink as the first step, and consideringthe matter of further action afterwards," suggested Shakespeare, andit was this suggestion that made the members unanimous upon thenecessity for immediate action, for when the assembled spirits calledfor their various favorite beverages it was found that there werenone to be had, it being Sunday, and all the establishments whereinliquid refreshments were licensed to be sold being closed--for at thetime of writing the local government of Hades was in the hands of thereform party.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
