Book Review: Cross Creek
Summary: 5 Stars
I am absolutely delighted by this reprint of a very old favorite. The entire pesentation, from cover to end, with all the lovely new line drawings really does credit to this amazing journal of Marjorie Rawlings in the primitive Florida swamps of the '30's. I am going to get another, for a gift to my daughter. We are also going to try some of the recipes.
Summary of Cross Creek
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's 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 backcountry, her deep-rooted love of the earth, and her genius for character and description result in a most delightful and heartwarming memoir.Authors Books
