Originally published in 1957, and millions of copies sold, Please Don’t Eat the Daisies became a film in 1960 starring David Niven and Doris Day, and then a television series in 1965. Now you can hear why many consider Jean Kerr to be one of America’s funniest writers. In the unique collection of essays, Kerr captures the perils of motherhood, wifehood, selfhood, and other assorted challenges. Listen and learn “How to Decorate in One Easy Breakdown” and how to drop those unwanted pounds with “Aunt Jean’s Marshmallow Fudge Diet.”
Please Don’t Eat the Daisies strikes modern readers and listeners as particularly funny because these feminist issues are still relevant today.
