My daughter, age six, sleeps with her bare, also age six. My son, age three, sleeps with his basketball and a stuffed tiger, age unknown. My other son, also age three, sleeps with a can of anchovy fillets – King Oscar brand, caught off Morocco and distributed by the H. J. Nosaki Company in New York.
-- From “The Anchoviad” one of the most charming essays in Children & Other While Animals by Brian Doyle, published by OSU Press.
Brian Doyle is a Portland treasure and he writes some great books, fiction and non-fiction. Children & Other Wild Animals is his latest from OSU Press, just in time for holiday gift giving!
