An American classic—and Pulitzer Prize–winning story—that shows the ultimate bond between child and pet, now in a lush keepsake edition. No novel better epitomizes the love between a child and a pet than The Yearling. When young Jody Baxter adopts and orphaned fawn he calls Flag, he makes it a part of his family and his best friend. But life in the Florida backwoods is harsh, and so, as his family fights off wolves, bears, and even alligators, and faces failure in their tenuous subsistence farming, Jody must finally part with his dear animal friend. There has been a film and even a musical based on this moving story, a fine work of great American literature which won Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings a Pulitzer Prize. Complete with N.C. Wyeth’s original oil paintings, this glowing work features a soft touch cover, gold foiling, and tip-in artwork.

Her intimate and vivid narrative of the people, scenery, and wild-life of the Florida back- country has all the humor and the boundless human appeal of her Pulitzer prize- winning novel.Her genius for character portrayal and description is unequalled, so that each character stands out recognizably and each event becomes the nucleus of a story. Some of the episodes are hilariously funny and some are hauntingly tragic, and all of them display her deep-rooted love of the earth.
