“The Good Crow's Happy Shop” by Patten Beard is an amusement story. A long time ago, the author of this book played the crow play as a little girl, and when she grew up and gave the crow play to Henry Jarrett. Excerpt: “Once a year, Aunt Phoebe came to visit in the city at Jimsi's house. Aunt Phoebe was Mother's best friend. Jimsi and Henry and baby Katherine had known her ever so long. They could not remember the time when they did not know Aunt Phoebe. Probably the time dated back to the age of rattles and squeaky rubber dolls when the children were so small that they knew nothing at all about Aunt Phoebe's Good Crow, Caw Caw.”
