5.0 out of 5 stars A Story For All Ages About Tough Love
What a simple story about simple people who lived by very real and often complicated rules. Life, at best, was very difficult during the late 19th century in the Florida scrubs. There was never enough of anything except for others trying to take what was yours. Life was a struggle. Hunger, clothing and safety were always in short supply.There was no time for pleasures. Only time to try to survive from one day to another. Life's pleasures were few and far between. Yet, Jody Baxter found a fawn that became his everyday reason for living. They shared everything because there was little to share and no one to share it with. The fawn added meaning to Jody's life. The fawn was Jody's reason for getting up in the morning. It was the one and only friend he had outside of his mom and pa. And yet, in the end, it was the one thing Jody reluctantly had to separate from his everyday existence. This loss tears at your heart strings and only reflects the difficult times and hard lessons people had to learn quickly in order to survive in the Florida's wilderness. Living in the central Florida forest on Baxter's Island, a young boy, Jody experiences life and death occurrences which are explained to him by his father, Penny Baxter. The taking of game for subsistance is shared not only by the forest animals but also the humans who live in the forest. Everyday is a saga of life versus death. Jody learns serious life lessons when his only friend, Fodder Wing dies unexpectantly and his joy and sorrow of raising a young fawn named Flag. And with the self-imposed loss of Fawn, Jody is forced to accept his life and its struggle for everyone's survival and sacrifice the one and only outside joy he ever knew.The way folks lived and their interdependence upon one another weaves a real story that all readers should enjoy. This is a classic written by a marvelous author. You will cry and laugh while reading the same page and you will marvel at all of life's lessons that these folks had to learn and endure. This is a story that a middle school child as well as adults of all ages should enjoy reading. The last paragraph of the book is especially moving and leaves the reader in a state of euphoria as to the way things were. You will never be too old or too busy that you can't pickup a volume of The Yearling and share the emotions that Jody and his family endured on an everyday basis. A true classic!
5.0 out of 5 stars THE WONDER OF SOUTHERN YOUTH
Ms Rawlings captured a time and place that was so rich in natural things as well as people. After reading Cross Creek we learned about a whole other group. Her ability to detail the tiniest plant or creature is only surpassed by her ability to describe the deepest thoughts and actions of people. In my 94th year the two books have been a great comfort
5.0 out of 5 stars One of the finest novels ever written!
It is not hard to see why this modern masterpiece was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1939. It was made into a classic movie starring Gregory Peck as Penny Baxter and was illustrated by the legendary N.C. Wyeth. They would not have exhausted their immense talents on a mediocre book (as some of the reviews have expressed- were they reading the same book as me?).The story is beautifully crafted and it flows effortlessly. The homespun language is quaint and is perfect for the book (which is set in the late 1800s). The author knew the intricacies of nature in Florida and described it with exactness and beauty. There are many sections of the book that are filled with warm humor and lightheartedness. The deep closeness between the father and son is touching as well as the love between the husband and wife.Life was a tough struggle then and it is brought out with great skill. Rawlings was a master of timing and description.(For those high school students who were forced to read the book- read it again in ten years. I felt the same way about "To Kill A Mockingbird". In high school I hated it. Later in life- I loved it. Maturity adds a lot to any book).N.C. Wyeth's illustrations are perfect for the story. His use of strong directional lighting is fabulous. I would recommend the Scribner Classic (hardcover) with his illustrations in it.Rawlings lived in the heart of the Florida woods in the winter time and was a keen observer of nature and men. I think I learned more about hunting from this book than from any other source.Because this book lacks sex, extreme violence, aliens or risque humor- perhaps it might seem dull to some- but it is for those very reasons that I was enthralled with it. Imagine a book filled with brilliant writing, a complex plot which is weaved by a consummate artist and many secondary adventures all which fortify the plot and without one tinge of cussing!This book deserves ten stars not five.

Great older book
An interesting, humorous and well written book
I loved the writer's descriptions of nature and the boy's childish idealisation of his father. The book describes the hardship of subsistence farming really well and leads the reader through a journey in the lives of the family that immerses you in the story.
Pulitzer Prize award.
A lovely read and very deserving of its Pulitzer Prize award.

グレゴリーペック出演の映画を見て、いつかは読みたいと探しておりました。少年の心と現実の苦悩、開拓期のアメリカのおおらかさと厳しさが描かれており、ピューリッツアー賞受賞の実力は本物だと思います。
Beautiful beyond imagination
If ever there was a beautiful book then this is the one. It won the Pulitzer Prize in 1939. The mesmerising tale effortlessly weaves through a series of episodes in the life of a marginal farmer struggling to eke out a living against crushing odds imposed by the surrounding scrub forest. All the characters are memorable. The descriptions of nature bring the sights sounds and smells of that distant forest to your room. The story will stay with you for a long long time. It’s a NOT a children’s book for sure. A must read for all who love nature in all its elements. The special edition with rich paper and beautiful painted illustrations makes it doubly special.
