Long before laughter was prescribed for illness, Anne Ellis wrote with unexpected humor of her extended bout with the "villain" asthma. "Sunshine Preferred" sums up the attitude of a remarkable woman whose illness interrupted a busy life as politician and breadwinner for two children. In the 1920s she shuffled from home in Colorado to sanitariums in sunny Arizona and New Mexico.Throughout the long ordeal, she showed her zest for life in writing vivid sketches of her doctors, nurses, and fellow patients. Anne Ellis advises the reader: "Don't read this book unless you are a person who never has been ill, or who is now ill, or who is just recovering from illness, or who hopes never to be ill." Anne Ellis will be remembered as the author of two other autobiographical books, "Plain Anne Ellis" (BB 817) and the classic "Life of an Ordinary Woman" (BB 736). 'The pages sparkle with humor...and behind it is always a warm, inpulsive, sympathetic heart' - "New York Times". 'A story of remarkable courage and persistence' - "Springfield Republican".
