I collect interesting cookbooks, especially "favorite recipes of..."
I was looking at one yesterday that's called "Mother West Wind's
Favorite Recipes." It was published in 1976 by Friends of Laughing
Brook, Inc. The illustrations are 'early American type' and remind
me of Shaker cookbooks I have, but there's no mention anywhere in
the book of origin. My Shaker cookbooks list other communities,
my books from Restored Historical Villages tell where they're located.
Anyone out there know where Laughing Brook is?

| 2137.1 | I think Laughing Brook is in Cape Cod | CLOSET::FARR | Tue Dec 05 1989 16:35 | 10 | |
The `Mother West Wind' stories were written by Thornton Burgess (sp?),
from Sandwich, Mass. on Cape Cod. They were probably written around
1900-1920 and are very memorable; they're mostly fables about how
things in nature became they way they are.
There's a place in Sandwich to visit, and my guess is that it's
called Laughing Brook from the cookbook that you have.

| 2137.2 | Laughing Brook location | WFOV12::COLLETTE | Wed Dec 06 1989 21:08 | 12 | |
There is a Laughing Brook located in Hampden, MA.
It boasts its own 'Mother West Wind' storyteller (Thorton Burgess).
They have caged wildlife that has been injured and unable to survive
on their own, nature trails, "happenings", gift store, and the like
The Friends of Laughing Brook are folks that organize, or otherwise
contribute, to fund raising functions that raise money for animal
food, repair and general upkeep/enhancing of Laughing Brook.
Sounds like this might be what you are looking for - good luck!

GASP. I could not believe this topic when I saw it. These are my favorite books from childhood. They also happen to be my mothers. Over the past few years my mother has tried to complete her childhood collection of these books. Some of her originals are from the early 1900's. If anyone does locate this cookbook I would love to have a copy (unless of course we are talking BIG BUCKS.) Or if you can find a phone number for me to call so I can order it I would be forever grateful! What a GREAT Christmas present this would make. Being out here in Dayton Ohio makes it a little hard for me to hunt this place down. Please contact me if you get any further information on this cookbook. To all friends of Johnny Chuck.
