دانلود کتاب Princess Kay and Me: Stories about the Minnesota Butterheads and much more

توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب به زبان اصلی :

Little did Linda Christensen know when she walked into a 40-degree, rotating cooler in 1972 that inside that cooler, over the next 50 fairs, she would carve 41,500 pounds of butter into the likenesses of more than 550 young women involved in dairy farming.

In that time, traditions developed around the "butterheads" including the lives they go on to live after the fair, some as centerpieces on wedding tables, in cookie dough for hundreds of holiday baking exchanges, at town corn feeds, and church pancake breakfasts. Some remain in farm family freezers for decades.

Linda jokes that through cooler conversations with her subjects she has achieved at least a graduate degree in theoretical dairy farming. She has also learned much about the history of butter, of butter sculpting, of women's traditional contributions to their home dairies, and the new story of women dairy farmers.

Minnesotans have honored Linda for gaining the state and its dairy farmers national recognition. She enjoys the status of Minnesota icon. Now she relives her many unique memories, not only of her butter carving history but of her early life and journey to becoming the woman who carves butter at the Minnesota State Fair.
