Product Description

Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings (1896 1953) was an American author who lived in rural Florida and wrote novels with rural themes and settings. Her best known work, The Yearling, about a boy who adopts an orphaned fawn, won a Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1939 and was later made into a movie of the same title, The Yearling. The book was written long before the concept of young-adult fiction, but is now commonly included in teen-reading lists. South Moon Under was included in the Book-of-the-Month Club and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
