"Cross Creek is a bend in a country road, by land, and the flowing of Lochloosa Lake into Orange Lake, by water." INSCRIBED and SIGNED by Rawlings on the front blank: "For/H. E. DeCamp/ from/Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings/Cross Creek/February 1943." Additionally SIGNED by Robert Camp Jr., the dustwrapper artist, below his printed name at the bottom front flap of the dustwrapper, and on the half-title page by Norton Baskin (Rawlings's husband), Dessie Smith Prescott (her friend, Floridas first professional woman guide and the first female licensed pilot in the state), Idella Parker (her maid), and J. T. "Jake" Glisson (a confidante and protege of his neighbor, Rawlings, who encouraged him to write and draw. He was supposedly the model for Jody in THE YEARLING.) All the additional signatures were acquired by Philip S. May, Jr., son of Philip May Sr., Rawlings's attorney in the Cross Creek trials. The respective families developed a close, lasting relationship. Exceptional collection of autographs.
Sinopsis
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.
