The Yearling |
|
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
Pulizer Prize-winning novel The Yearling was the best-selling book of 1938. It describes life in the central Florida backwoods as lived by a hard-working couple with one child: Jody. Daily living was a struggle to raise crops - "the old clearings were farmed out...big timber is gone, and trapping is poor", Rawlings wrote to her editor, the famous Maxwell Perkins of Scribner's. This is an excellent book for its description of life in Florida during the 1930's, and a good read whether you're young or not so young!
Much of Florida was settled in the interior along the St. Johns River. At 310', it's the longest river in Florida, and it falls less than 30'.
