Written by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. Illustrated by N. C. Wyeth. First edition thus, 1985. Charles Scribner's Sons, New York.
Front flap:
"In this classic story of the Baxter family of inland Florida and their wild, hard, satisfying life, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings has written one of the great novels of our times.
"A rich and varied story - tender in its understanding of boyhood, crowded with the excitement of the backwoods hunt, with vivid descriptions of the primitive, beautiful hammock country, with humor and earthy philosophy..."
The Yearling is a coming of age story about Jody Baxter, who rescues and raises a young deer until his pet threatens the family's living by eating their corn crop. Jody is forced to choose between the deer and his duty to family.
The Yearling won the Pulitzer Prize in 1938, and a deluxe edition illustrated by N. C. Wyeth was published the following year. The original paintings were rephotographed for this 1985 edition.
Newell Conyers Wyeth (1882 – 1945) was a painter and one of the country's greatest illustrators, best remembered for illustrating 25 books for Scribner's, including The Yearling. N. C. was the father of Andrew Wyeth and grandfather of Jamie Wyeth, both famous American artists.
