The Talkative Wig is a children's book written by Eliza Lee Follen. The story follows a wig that is so talkative that it won't stop chattering away, even when its owner is trying to sleep. The wig talks about everything from the weather to the latest gossip, and it seems like it will never be quiet. But one day, the wig meets a wise old owl who teaches it the value of listening and the importance of being quiet sometimes. With this newfound knowledge, the wig learns to be a better friend and a better listener. The Talkative Wig is a charming and humorous tale that teaches children about the importance of listening and respecting others.One prank which the boys played some years after Jane's death, I must relate, and then I have done. The eldest, whose name was Willie, took me, the evening before thanksgiving day, and, having dressed himself up in some of the cook's dirty old clothes, and hung a basket on his arm, put me over his shoulders, and I went begging of all the neighbors for something to keep thanksgiving with. He disguised his voice by putting cotton wool in his mouth, and I wonder myself how I came to know him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
