Cross Creek Cookbook Luncheon & Florida Vistas Book Club: The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings

Event Description

Join us for a luncheon before our monthly Florida history book club at the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art. Carol Ann Moritz will be providing lunch with recipes from the Cross Creek Cookbook. After lunch, discuss The Yearling, a novel that epitomizes the love between a child and a pet. Young Jody adopts an orphaned fawn he called, Flag, and makes it a part of his family and his best friend. But life in the Florida backwoods is harsh, and so, his family fights off wolves, bears, and even alligators, and faces failure in their tenuous subsistence farming, Jody must finally part with his dear animal friend. There has been a film and even a musical based on this moving story, a fine work of great American literature. RSVP is required by calling the Museum at 386-255-0285 ext. 312.

$5.00 per person (includes lunch and book club - cash only)
