The Yearling is a classic of adventure literature. The novel explores the themes of coming-of-age, family, and the challenges of rural life in the Florida wilderness. The story is set in the late 19th century and follows the Baxter family, particularly young Jody Baxter. Living on a small farm, Jody befriends a young deer he names Flag, and they form a deep bond. As Jody grows, he faces the harsh realities of life in the wilderness, including the struggle for survival, conflicts with his family, and the complexities of relationships. The novel beautifully captures the beauty of nature and the harshness of rural existence, examining the choices individuals must make in the face of adversity. The Yearling received critical acclaim and won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1939.
