Originally published in 1942, this delightful memoir offers a warm and wonderful evocation of the life of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, author of The Yearling and other books. "The novelist's awareness has touched people and place and incident, and the result is beauty and laughter and poignancy and truth".--New York Times Book Review. Woodcut illustrations.
