Young Jody lives with his ma and pa on a farm in backwoods Florida. Life is hard there: cutting wood, planting fields, hauling water from a distant sinkhole. It is dangerous: wolves and bears roam the night. It's also lonely for a young boy. One spring day, Jody's pa kills a deer for meat. When Jody sees her spotted fawn in the brush, he convinces his father they should bring the fawn home. Thus begins a year when deer and boy are never far from each other. But the day will come when Jody must make a terrible choice between his beloved pet and his family's survival.

As a young boy growing up in Florida, I was quite aware of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings classic novel, lovingly written while she was residing at a tiny community in east central Florida, now just a few miles from where I write this, called "Cross Creek" which was the title of a second book she authored, and then her book of annotated "old Florida" recipes called, "Cross Creek Cookery." The epic film made of "The Yearling" premiered at the Florida Theater in Sarasota, near Myakka Park where many of the scenes were filmed, with actors including Gregory Peck starring in the role of young Jody's stern, pioneer father. It has remained one of my favorite books, and I purchased this copy to include the original illustrations. I purchased the book as a gift to the young daughter of an acquaintance, who embodies the spirit of Jody, who originated in the author's mind as a young girl, the gender changed at the suggestion of the publishers who saw more acceptance by the reading public if it were so. The book remains an American classic, and should be on any serious student's reading list. Cross Creek is still there, not much changed from the river side community deep in the pine and oak woods, but now only minutes from Florida Route 301, an area I chose for my retirement, not much changed from the very early years of pioneer Florida, the background for the book. The author lovingly describes every detail of the lush surroundings, the bird and animal life, the magnificent trees and flowers, the pioneer life. The house where the author stayed for a year while writing it, is still there, and is now part of a State Park, dedicated to her memory, at Cross Creek.
If I were rating this book for the quality of the writing, it would be a hands-down five-star rating, but as a word-by-word measure of the pleasure I got out of reading the book, I have to give it four stars. There are so many compelling elements in this book that make it absolutely worth reading. The author's in-depth knowledge of life as it was in this neck of the woods at the time the story took place is phenomenal, along with her ability to convey it in great detail. It is the attention to detail when it comes to the descriptions of the natural environment that--while impressive and way beyond what I'd be able to do with environments with which I'm most familiar--almost led me to dismiss the book early on, led me to occasionally skim passages (which I would never do in a five-star book), and ultimately led to me to remove one star from my rating.That being said, what kept me enthusiastic about reading the book was above all her ability to convey a sense of wonder in a growing boy, to keep the plot moving enough to make me curious about what would happen next, to tell an amazing story while bringing fascinating characters to life, and to vividly convey a very entertaining dialect. I'd love to be able to hang out for an evening and down some moonshine with these folks just to hear them talk. What continued to blow my mind was the fact that this book focused so deeply on a male perspective while being written by a woman--so much so that if this were written by a man it would now probably be censured for being misogynistic. Most of the women in this book come off as nagging, disreputable, or troublesome, and they are always secondary to the men; however, they are all brilliantly portrayed and believable.I am personally glad that I encountered this book in my late-thirties. It seems like it used to be a staple for younger readers, but there's no way they'd appreciate so much of what is contained in these pages.
Just about everybody knows the story, has seen the movie. I bought the book on a whim (I'm 67 yrs old), and what a great surprise! I'm a pretty voracious reader, but I guess I do tend toward the older stuff than discovering new talent...I can't stand bad grammar, spoken or written, and it is ubiquitous, much so more these days than the "olden" days.The book was written in 1938, by someone who loved where she lived, and about a subject she was well versed in, and her writing dislpays this love and knowledge throughout. The writing itslef shows how well she kmew her craft.I think anyone would enjoy this book; a good story well told. Def recommend !
My favorite read from childhood. I am once again re-reading it before going to sleep. Puts me in a very peaceful state. Terrific story, full of richly rendered characters and descriptive writing that evokes strong visualizations and emotionally evocative enough so those mental images stay forever. The illustrations are the same as the originals, and on glossy paper. This is a book to buy for any early teen age boy in particular. Buy extra copies and give them to the school library.
We saw the movie version with Gregory Peck a couple of weeks ago, and I decided to Kindle a copy of the novel. I'm glad I did, especially this version, which featured N.C. Wyeth's lovely illustrations. The volume I had as a child also had these pictures; I loved them then, and enjoyed them now. Nineteen years ago, we moved to Florida, and the description of the Everglades at the end of the 19th century, with its abundant flora and fauna, meant more to me now than it did then. While this may have been intended to be a children's book when Rawlings wrote it, I enjoyed it just as much this time because the characterizations were so vivid, especially that of Penny, the father. I wouldn't have appreciated him as much at the age of 8 as I do now, and I wouldn't have responded to Ory, the mother either. Their son, Jody, grows up before your eyes, and takes on the responsibilities of a frontier teen. This is a wonderful book, and worthy of a second look.
