When that I was and a little tiny boy . . .

This post has nothing to do with the rain, but the phrases in the icon and subject are from a song Shakespeare wrote and/or incorporated in Twelfth Night:

When that I was and a little tiny boy,
With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
A foolish thing was but a toy,
For the rain it raineth every day.Place your bets now: Those that think I'm going to

All I really have to contribute to this is that I heart Dar Williams.

Me too.

I've got a thing for underdogs as well. Hence, its placement as number one on the list.

I love this idea for a series of post. LOVE IT! It's interesting how the little-kid sized stove grabbed you...maybe for the same reasons I remember loving The Boxcar Children (at least, book one, don't think I read farther...)...I recall how the one kid had his little cup, and how they put the dairy under the stream to keep it cold, and all the little domestic details...enthralling to me!

I am glad you love the idea, for you are in for MORE OF THE SAME tomorrow. Only about a different book, natch.

I don't remember reading the Boxcar Children books, although it seems like the sort of thing I'd have loved, for reasons which will quickly become apparent as you read about some of the upcoming books.

Hey! Published in 1969? Now that was a GREAT year. I was published, I mean born, in that year too.

As a kid,I liked rooting for the underdog too 'cos I always felt like one of them.

I still like rooting for the underdog, and for the same reason. The original story was, of course, published in the 1800s, but my copy is from 1969.
