Description: The poignant Pulitzer Prizewinning novel about a backwoods Florida family is now available in trade paperback with a stunning new cover and featuring a critical Introduction by Ivan Doig.
Brief description: Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings (1896-1953) lived for twenty-five years in Cross Creek, Florida, the area that is the setting for The Yearling, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1939. She is the author of several earlier novels as well as a memoir, Cross Creek, which inspired the acclaimed motion picture of the same name.
Review Quotes: "Never before has Mrs. Rawlings created a set of characters who are so close and real to the reader, whose intimate life one can share without the taint of unconscious patronage."
