Book Reviews of Short Stories by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
Book Review: Unforettable Yarns & Touching Stories
Summary: 5 Stars
Many of these fictitious stories were gleaned by the author who lived with, closely observed, and listened to backwoodsmen in the Florida scrub country in the 1930s and 40s. Some are hilarious, others poignant. Even the most tall-tale accounts have a tone of factual basis. Today's reader may well squirm at the racial overtones which Rawlings authentically portrayed, but these give an honest picture of life in her beloved/adopted home. The reader finds that the author relished her experiences with moonshining, cockfighting, etc. These are rich tales. Rawlings' grand desciptions of nature and characters are wonderful. One excellent story,"A Mother in Manville," is out of print elsewhere and worth the price of the book.
