[Charles Agvent]

RAWLINGS, Marjorie Kinnan. CROSS CREEK. New York: Charles Scribner's 
Sons, 1942. First Edition. In the first issue dustwrapper. Illustrations 
by Edward Shenton. "Cross Creek is a bend in a country road, by land, 
and the flowing of Lochloosa Lake into Orange Lake, by water." INSCRIBED 
and SIGNED by Rawlings on the front blank: "For/H. E. DeCamp/ 
from/Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings/Cross Creek/February 1943." Additionally 
SIGNED by Robert Camp Jr., the dustwrapper artist, below his printed 
name at the bottom front flap of the dustwrapper, and on the half-title 
page by Norton Baskin (Rawlings's husband), Dessie Smith Prescott (her 
friend, Florida’s first professional woman guide and the first female 
licensed pilot in the state), Idella Parker (her maid), and J. T. "Jake" 
Glisson (a confidante and protege of his neighbor, Rawlings, who 
encouraged him to write and draw. He was supposedly the model for Jody 
in THE YEARLING.) All the additional signatures were acquired by Philip 
S. May, Jr., son of Philip May Sr., Rawlings's attorney in the Cross 
Creek trials. The respective families developed a close, lasting 
relationship. Exceptional collection of autographs. Most of the silver 
on the spine still intact. Very Good in a Very Good dustwrapper with a 
closed tear and snag at the bottom front and a bit of edgewear.
