"Cross Creek" by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings

Originally published in 1942, Cross Creek has become a classic in modern American literature. For the millions of readers raised on The Yearling, here is the story of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' experiences in the remote Florida hamlet of Cross Creek, where she lived for thirteen years. From the daily labors of managing a seventy-two-acre orange grove to bouts with runaway pigs and a succession of unruly farmhands, Rawlings describes her life at the Creek with humor and spirit. Her tireless determination to overcome the challenges of her adopted home in the Florida back country, her deep-rooted love of the earth, and her genius for character and description result in a most delightful and heartwarming memoir.

This is a Book of the Month Club edition from 1942. It is in good vintage condition with some fading on the cloth cover, but otherwise intact.
