Tales of a Poultry Farm

Tales of a Poultry Farm by Clara Dillingham Pierson sweeps listeners into a lively turn-of-the-century farmyard where chickens, ducks, and turkeys become memorable characters in a gentle animals collection. Pierson’s quaint, observational storytelling blends natural-history detail with warm moral lessons as the flock adjusts to a curious new owner whose habits seem strange to their feathered eyes. Through short, self-contained tales you’ll meet chicks learning to listen to their mother, ducks discovering the wider world, and a few anxious moments — like the trouble caused by hookworms — handled with empathy rather than alarm. The stories reflect early 20th-century children’s literature: earnest, didactic, and rooted in outdoor life, offering both entertainment and practical knowledge about poultry behavior and farm rhythms. Narrative voice balances humor and instruction, making the book as informative as it is charming. Ideal for fans of animal stories, parents seeking wholesome bedtime listening, educators introducing historical children’s literature, or anyone who enjoys pastoral, character-driven tales. Tune in to experience a simpler farm life and timeless lessons about curiosity, community, and caring for animals.
