While most of the stories collected here were known to Rawlings scholars, some were difficult to get hold of, and the poems in the second volume-light verse that Rawlings had contributed in the 1920's to the Rochester Times-Union-had been almost unknown.

Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 1999.  In jacket. Inscribed. Matthew J. & Arlyn Bruccoli Collection.

A Lost Rawlings Novel from the 1920's
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings,
Blood of My Blood.
Edited by Anne Blythe Meriwether.
Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 2002.

This edition represents the first publication of Rawlings’s first sustained work of fiction.   Rawlings had submitted the novel, which is strongly autobiographical, for the Atlantic Monthly’s fiction prize in 1929, unsuccessfully.  Some time in the late thirties, she gave Julia Scribner the typescript from which this edition was edited.
