Better a Dinner of Herbs

I started a new book called "Better a Dinner of Herbs" by Byron Herbert Reece. It was published in 1950. This book is a lyrical story. It tells the story of one event through the people's eyes that were involved in it. The first story tells the story of the morning of the death bed of a preacher. The first chapter of the story starts with the youngest member of the house, a boy named Danny. It starts with him waking up, and describing what he sees and hears. It then goes into more detail about who he sees and their relation to him, some of the descriptions are through his eyes and the others are through the eyes of the narrartor.

I like the way Reece writes, it's similar to the way Washington Irving writes, except he uses more modern English. I think that this first part of the book is going to be the end of the book and that the rest of the book is going to talk about how Danny and his uncle ended up at the preacher's house. I also hope that the book goes into more detail about how the preacher died because all it said was that there was a dead preacher downstairs, and I have been wanting to know since the first chapter. I'm thinking that Reece might want the reader to make it up themselves.
