Description: Rawlings, Marjorie Kinnan - The Yearling - Charles Scribner’s Sons: New York, 1938 - First Edition / First Printing - Both the Scribner’s seal and the letter “A” present on the copyright page as required in order to denote the first printing of the first edition. “He lay down on his pallet and drew the fawn down beside him. He often lay so with it in the shed, or under the live oaks in the heat of the day. He lay with his head against its side. its ribs lifted and fell with its breathing. It rested its chin on his hand. It had a few short hairs there that prickled him. He had been cudgeling his wits for an excuse to bring the fawn inside at night to sleep with him, and now he had one that could not be disputed. He would smuggle it in and out as long as possible, in the name of peace.” The book has sunning to the spine, soiling, scattered staining and general shelf wear. The gutters have the typical binders glue stains but they aren’t as dark as many other copies. The boards remain mostly straight and the green lettering and design elements on the front and spine remain bright. The binding is square and still firm. There is a previous owner name and address penned across the paste down and there are two pages which were torn and carefully tape mended back together but otherwise the interior is reasonably clean. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize. Basis for the rather good 1946 film adaptation of the same title which starred Gregory Peck and Jane Wyman. This film would be nominated for seven Academy Awards (including best picture, actor, and actress) and would go on to win two Oscars.
