Teabird, over at Tea Reads asks a simple question. What is your favorite book that noone has heard of? I had to really think about this one, so I went and made a cup of Adiago Foxtrot (when my daughter moved in with her family she brought ALL her tea..JOY!) and thought some more. My favorite books tend to be ones that other people have read too,
- Anne of Green Gables
- Little House
- Mitford series
- Narnia
- Hobbit
You get the idea. And since I have been homeschooling AND blogging AND homesteading I really don’t read as much as I would like…still, the question is haunting. I like kids books the best, by the way. I dislike most of the components that go into creating a popular adult book these days, so while I can;t decide between two titles, I will say that they re both children’s books.
The first is historical fiction called By Wagon and Flatboat. Out of print, I found it though a search that took two weeks on Amazon several years ago. I had read it as a kid and remembered it nearly word for word, as my children do now. It is the story of a early 1800s move to Ohio.
The next is The Family Under Bridge. The story of a homeless, fatherless family in Paris and the gruff old man that befriends them. I love it. Be sure to eat crepes while reading it. I don’t know why, it just works.
So, what obscure books do you read? And which tea or coffee goes with them best?

译文:
茶跟书[茶壶和茶杯]
Teabird在《饮茶与读书》上问了一个简单的问题。你最喜欢而又不被常人所知的一本书是什么？这个问题我还真没想过。我泡了一杯Adiago Foxtort（我的女儿携家搬到我这里时，把她所有的茶都带来了，真是大快人心），又好好的想了想。不过，我喜欢的书似乎别人都读过了，
《绿墙下的安》
《小屋》
《米特福德系列》
《乳母》
《哈比特》你发现了吧。因为我要教育孩子，写博客，还要管理我的农场，我不能想读多少书就读多少书。何况问题要求的是要难以忘怀的。我最喜欢小孩子的书，顺便说一下。所以我在两个标题之间犹豫不决，这两本都是儿童书。
第一本是叫做《马车和船》的历史小说。已经绝版，这本书是我几年前在亚马逊河花了两周时间找到的。我在还是小孩子时读的，可直到现在还清楚的记得每个细节，我的孩子们也是。故事讲的是十九世纪早期迁往俄亥俄州的事。
第二本是《舰桥下的家》，我很喜欢这个故事。故事讲的是巴黎一个无依无靠，没有父亲的家庭被一个粗鲁的老头照顾的事。我当时真是读的如醉如痴，不知道为什么它这么吸引我。
所以，你读了哪本不知名的书？最好就着哪种茶或者咖啡读？
