PLEASE NOTE: This is a summary of the book and NOT the original book. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou - A 30-minute Instaread Summary Inside this Instaread Summary: - Overview of the entire book - Introduction to the important people in the book - Summary and analysis of all the chapters in the book - Key Takeaways of the book - A Reader's Perspective Preview of this summary: Chapter 1Marguerite was three and her brother, Bailey, four when they arrived in Stamps, Arkansas.
