Born in Washington, D.C., educated at the University of Wisconsin, fêted in Hollywood, she was one of the most prominent American writers of the first half of the twentieth century. For \u003ci\u003eMarjorie Kinnan Rawlings's Cross Creek Sampler\u003c\/i\u003e, Brent Kinser and Rodger Tarr, the foremost experts on the life and works of Rawlings, have selected a cornucopia of excerpts from the short fiction and novels written after her arrival in Florida in 1928, including her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Yearling\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as her best-selling \u003ci\u003eCross Creek \u003c\/i\u003e(neither of which has ever gone out of print).
