The Yearling / Mark Twain's Roughing It

The Yearling - Twelve-year-old Jody has always longed for a pet, but his small family has never been able to afford one. Everything changes when an orphaned fawn finds its way into their lives and the boy learns about the power of love and the meaning of becoming a man. The Yearling is a classic coming-of-age story about family and the adventures of growing up based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings.

Mark Twain's Roughing It - Even success hasn't made Samuel Clemens a happy man. Instead of devoting his talent to serious matters he's wasted them on yarns- as Mark Twain, a mere humorist. Now, asked to speak to Bryn Mawr's graduating class of 1891, he's filled with dread. In front of an enraptured crowd, the masterful storyteller unfolds the tale of a polite greenhorn from the East initiated into the rough and tumble society of the raw Western frontier.
