Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings

Hunting with her dog Moe. I have been an avid fan of Rawlings works for years. In my collection of her books I have several first editions - I have the common ones to read. They are safely tucked away right now because I don't have room to display them. If you are from Florida you will know the name for those of you who aren't she wrote the book the movie 'The Yearling' was based on.
She was a hard working, cussing, drinking and smoking Northerner who came to Florida to start a new life. I am not sure how many years ago it was that they made a movie of 'Cross Creek' which was a biography of her life at Cross Creek. There is no town at Cross Creek there is Micanopy which is near by and noted for it's antiques shops.
A few years ago they put together a collection of her short stories that were written for magazines, etc. I am waiting for the next book to come out - there are still a lot of her short stories out there.
