In the remote, unforgiving landscape of central Florida, Ezra "Penny" Baxter, his wife Ora and their son Jody carve out a precarious existence. Only ever a failed crop away from disaster, life in the Big Scrub is one of lurking danger, wild beauty and the thrill of the hunt.
Jody's world is transformed when he rescues a starving fawn, who becomes his constant companion. But their bond is threatened when the yearling endangers the family's survival—and Jody is forced to make a terrible choice that will change him forever.
Winner of the 1939 Pulitzer Prize and an instant bestseller, The Yearling is a moving and richly evocative classic for readers of all ages.
"A literary masterpiece for all ages ... a tale of growing up, of love and laughter, of tragedy and loss and grief—a tale that is so compelling that it turns the page for you: The Yearling leaves you tearful, breathless, exhilarated."—Michael Morpurgo

      Marjorie K. Rawlings's classic novel of a boy's coming of age in the Florida wilderness is here performed by Stechschulte. His deep, resonant voice moves at a slow pace, which evokes the natural setting. My son was especially thrilled by the storm scene. His characterizations are credible. Penny and Jody are believable; the female characters are more of a challenge. Overall, this is an adequate reading of this classic. M.T.F. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine
