Hilde Domin and 70th anniversary of The Egg and I

Hilde Domin - and Betty MacDonald fan club fans,

we had a special Betty MacDonald fan club surprise for you.

You only had to answer this question: 

There was a special Betty MacDonald anniversary on Saturday.

Do you have any idea?

We are talking about..............    The Egg and I. 

Even with the continual rain, July, August, September and even October were bad fire months in the mountains. If you were unfortunate enough to live on a ranch near the Kettles, any month was dangerous. It was said that the Kettles set the original peat fires in the valleys and that one summer, Paw, to save himself the effort of mowing the lawn, set fire to the grass and burned off the front porch. The Kettles burned brush any old time of year and if the brush fire got away from them and burned five or ten acres of someone's timber, that was too bad.  Betty MacDonald in The Egg and I

First published by the J. B. Lippincott Company on October 3, 1945, The Egg and I received laudatory reviews and soon appeared on the best-seller list. 

The book was a blockbuster success as a novel, being reprinted on a nearly monthly basis for the next two years.

On September 12, 1946, the specially-bound one-millionth copy of the book was presented to MacDonald by Washington Governor Monrad Wallgren at a luncheon in Seattle.
