When the first edition of this book was published in 1957, the art of making a tipi was almost lost, even among American Indians. Since that time a tremendous resurgence of interest in the Indian way of life has occurred, resurgence due in part, at least, to the Laubins' life-long efforts at preservation and interpretation of Indian culture.As The Indian Tipi makes obvious, the American Indian is both a practical person and a natural artist. Indian inventions are commonly both serviceable and beautiful. Other tents are hard to pitch, hot in summer, cold in winter, poorly lighted, unventilated, easily blown down, and ugly to boot. The conical tipi of the Plains Indian has none of these faults. It can be pitched by one person. It is roomy, well ventilated at all times, cool in summer, well lighted, proof against high winds and heavy downpours, and, with its cheerful fire inside, snug in the severest winter weather.

There are lots of ways to start a story, but this one begins with a chicken...
One night, Ella Risbridger found herself lying on the kitchen floor, wondering if she would ever get up from it. And it was the thought of a chicken - of roasting it, and of eating it - that got her to her feet and made her want to be alive.
Midnight Chicken is a cookbook. Or, at least, you'll flick through these pages and find comforting recipes like roast garlic and tomato soup, uplifting chilli-lemon spaghetti, charred leek lasagne, squash skillet pie, spicy fish finger sandwiches and burnt-butter brownies. This is the kind of happy cooking you can do a little bit drunk, and which is probably better if you've got a bottle of wine open and a hunk of bread to mop up the sauce. But if you settle down and read the book with a cup of tea (or a glass of that wine), you'll also discover that it's also all about little things worth living for - a manifesto of moments worth living for. This is a cookbook to make you fall in love with the world again.
