The Yearling

In “The Yearling,” Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings weaves a poignant tale of young Jody Baxter, who lives in the backwoods of Florida with his family. The novel captures the essence of rural life and the bond between a boy and his pet fawn, Flag. As Jody navigates the trials of growing up, the story beautifully explores themes of love, loss, and the harsh realities of nature. Rawlings’ evocative prose and vivid descriptions transport readers to a simpler, yet profoundly challenging time.
