The Yearling Resources

All true fans join the Rawlings society.

Marjorie's old house is now a park. Bring a Frisbee; watch out for the panthers.

The 1946 movie stars Gregory Peck and Jane Wyman. Don't you hate it when you get a movie star crush on someone from an old movie 'cause now they're like 98 and don't really go out on dates anymore?

Philip Seymour Hoffman lent some gravitas to this 1994 TV movie. RIP.

If you want your Yearling with even bigger doe-eyes, check out this highly rated 1983 version.

So there was a musical, but it only ran for three performances. Listen at your own risk.

In 1942, Marjorie did an interview with a writer from a Florida girl's college. It's adorable.

The theme music from The Yearling movie is almost as beautiful and Rawlings's descriptions of nature!

In this movie clip, Jody comes home.

And…start wasting hours of your life…..now. Here's Part 1 of the first episode of the anime series. Have fun!

There's Yearling Restaurant, and they serve venison.

Something tells us that this house isn't Ma Baxter's style.

Meet Marjorie—or at least a woman who plays her on TV.

Get all the Marjorie facts in this documentary.

Florida shore is purty, Pa!

Here's actual audio of Rawlings talking, and her maid singing in the background. Yes, it's as weird as it sounds.

Part One of the radio adaptation, with all the same stars who were in the movie! How do they make those awesome radio sound effects?!

Take a bathroom break and come right back.

Let's go to the lobby, let's go to the lobby…oh wait, this is radio. Never mind.

Barbra Streisand singing a song from the musical that never quite was…

Barbra Streisand again. Can you really picture her as Ora Baxter?

Barbra Streisand yet again. She really liked The Yearling, didn't she?

Some old photos of Rawlings.

The 1938 original book cover. We hear it's about a boy and deer.

Is it just us, or does Jody look way too clean on this cover?

This cover has the Pulitzer stamp of approval.

This movie poster hits all the same notes: boy + deer.

Slewfoot strikes again, in this shot from the movie.

Here's Jody, protesting the inevitable. (You're going to shoot him, Jody.)

You know you've made it when you get to be on a stamp.
