This volume collects, for the first time, the twentythree published short stories of the Pulitzer Prizewinning novelist, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. Scribners printed Rawlingss first short story, Cracker Chidlings, in 1931, just three years after she moved to an orange grove in the backwoods of northcentral Florida. With a mix of frontier morality, ingenuity, and humor, the story introduced readers to Fatty Blakes squirrel pilau and Shiner Tims corn liquor. Just as important, it brought her work to the attention of Maxwell Perkins, who recognized her talent for storytelling and her eye for detail and who encouraged her to capture human drama in more Cracker stories.Often at her best combining satire and sarcasm, Rawlings is merciless in Gal Young Un as she bores in on two women, both competing for the same man and struggling for their dignity. The story, published in Harpers, was awarded the O. Henry Memorial Prize for best short story of 1932 and was made into a prizewinning movie in 1979. Her most autobiographical story, A Mother in Mannville, describes the sense of personal loss endured by a childless woman writer. She also wrote a series of comic stories that featured Quincey Dover, her alter ego.
