PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES

This timeless audiobook, originally published in 1957, sounds as fresh as a daisy. Kerr writes about family life, pets, the New York theater culture and everything else from dieting to having an operation. She tells tales of raising four young sons and trying to keep her head above water as a playwright. These tapes sound like two hours of stand-up comedy. Webb delivers it in a deadpan manner with appropriate pauses for laughter. Her tone conveys the frustration and hilarity of being a young mother trying to survive in a rough environment.
