A literary sensation when originally published fifty years ago, The Yearling has become a classic. This timeless story of backwoods Florida and the tender relationship of a young boy and his tame fawn has continued to delight and entrall readers of all ages. I read this aloud to my children, and though it took a little while to get into, it has become one of their favourites. Love those southern accents! Highly recommended. 50th Anniversay Edition.

When young Rob Peck saves a neighbour’s cow, the neighbour gives him a pig as a reward. Pinky is Rob’s constant companion as he juggles backbreaking farm work with the schooling that is so important to his father. Pinky is a pet and a friend, but on a farm, every animal must have its use. And on a farm, even a boy must sometimes be a man. Will the support of a loving family and plainspoken Shaker teachings of his father, Haven, be enough to see Rob through on the day no pigs would die?
I really liked the style of writing in this book and read it in one sitting. Great for adolescent boys.
