" A national bestseller when first published in 1901, Mrs. Wiggs
of the Cabbage Patch endures today as one of the most memorable
literary creations by a Kentucky author. This immensely popular
novel spawned several movies (with such stars as W.C. Fields and
Shirley Temple), countless stage productions, radio shows, and even
dolls. Alice Hegan Rice spins the memorable tale of a family
struggling against all odds in the Cabbage Patch, an old Louisville
slum "where ramshackle cottages played hop-scotch over the railroad
tracks." This hopeful story follows the Wiggs as they face eviction
from their dilapidated house and take in two orphanage fugitives.
Out of print for many years, this charming, funny chronicle of hope
triumphing over despair is finally available to a new generation of
readers.
