About This Item
First edition. Date on the cover page and the letter A on the copyright page. No dust jacket. Tan fabric covered boards with green print and decoration on the front and spine. The fabric is darkened over the spine and shows very little edge wear. Binding is solid with no hinge splits. The pages are clean, tight and unmarked, with slight age-tanning. The only flaw is a manufacturing error where three sheets, starting at page 105, got creased between the printing and the binding. This meant that they didn't get cut correctly and are a bit wider than the rest of the pages (see photos #4 - 5). Still readable, as all the words are there.
Synopsis
The Yearling is a 1938 novel written by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. It won the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel in 1939. Rawlings's editor was Maxwell Perkins, who also worked with F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and other literary luminaries. She had submitted several projects to Perkins for his review, and he rejected them all. He instructed her to write about what she knew from her own life, and the result of her taking his advice was The Yearling.
