3 Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Biography Marjorie Rawlings ( ) was an American author who lived in Florida and became famous for novels centering on rural Florida life. Marjorie Kinnan was born in 1896 in Washington, D.C. She was an avid writer from a very early age and often submitted stories to newspapers for publication in the children's section. After earning a degree in English from the University of Wisconsin, Kinnan married Charles Rawlings in In 1928, the couple purchased a 72 acre farm in north-central Florida near a small town called Cross Creek. Marjorie and Charles divorced shortly afterward. Charles moved away, but Marjorie stayed, for she had fallen in love with the land and people of this region. Cross Creek and its environs provided the setting for Rawlings's most famous works. Rawlings published 33 short stories between 1912 and 1949, but she is most famous for her novels. The Yearling won the Pulitzer Prize for 1939 and earned Rawlings international fame. In 1942, she published Cross Creek, an autobiographical account of her relationships in her beloved Florida hamlet. Cross Creek was also very well received, and Rawlings followed it up with a cookbook, Cross Creek Cookery, in which she compiled recipes gleaned from 15 years of experience living among the people of Florida. Rawlings married Norton Baskin in 1941 and moved to St. Augustine, Florida, where she lived until her death in Rawlings novels include: 1933 South Moon Under 1935 Golden Apples 1938 The Yearling 1940 When the Whippoorwill 1942 Cross Creek 1942 Cross Creek Cookery 1953 The Sojourner 1955 The Secret River 2002 Blood of My Blood (lost first novel originally written in 1928) 2008 The Center for Literary Education 2
