The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, published by Charles Scribner's Sons in New York, 1985, is a beautifully illustrated hardcover edition featuring the artwork of N. C. Wyeth. Originally published in 1938, this edition captures the essence of a classic tale set in the Florida backwoods, focusing on the poignant relationship between a young boy and a fawn he raises as a pet. While the copyright page confirms this as a 1985 printing, it does not state a first edition. This edition is notable for its detailed illustrations that bring the story's rich setting to life. The book is in good condition with a dust jacket that shows minor wear. The Yearling remains a significant work in juvenile fiction, exploring themes of nature, family, and the challenges of rural life.
