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.

RELIVE THE WONDER OF A CHILDHOOD FAVORITE THAT HAS BEEN
CAPTURING THE HEARTS OF READERS FOR MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY. An instant bestseller when it was released in 1938, this
Pulitzer Prize winner has been read and loved by school-age
children across the nation for more than fifty years. In
this classic story of the Baxter family and their wild,
hard, and satisfying life in remote central Florida,
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings has written one of the great novels
of our times. A rich and varied tale -- tender in its
understanding of boyhood, crowded with the excitement of the
backwoods hunt, with vivid descriptions of the primitive,
beautiful hammock country, written with humor and earthy
philosophy -- The Yearling is a novel for readers of all
ages. Its glowing picture of a life refreshingly removed
from modern patterns of living is universal in its
revelation of simple courageous people and the beliefs they
must live by.
