He portrayed the culture of south Florida, especially in his \"Florida Trilogy\"--which includes his most famous book, \u003ci\u003eThe Barefoot Mailman \u003c\/i\u003e(1943), and continues with \u003ci\u003eThe Flame Tree \u003c\/i\u003e(1948) and \u003ci\u003eThe Big Bubble \u003c\/i\u003e(1949). He also wrote vividly about the Florida Keys in \u003ci\u003eMercy Island \u003c\/i\u003e(1941), the\u003ci\u003e Everglades in Escape to Eden \u003c\/i\u003e(1953), and Chief Osceola in a novel and a play both called \u003ci\u003eSeminole \u003c\/i\u003e(1953\/1954). Pratt did research for his books that created an archive that is valuable for researchers today and a collection of stories and essays, \u003ci\u003eFlorida Roundabout \u003c\/i\u003e(1959), that offers a deep insight into the lives of poor whites in the state.This biography tells the story of Pratt's life and work to Florida fans, teachers, young writers, and literary scholars who are interested in southern literature, Florida literature, and mid-century American film and literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor Hagood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 168334362X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683343622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pineapple Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Taylor Hagood","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44245205483775,"sku":"9781683343622","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe835985-8037-4274-af1c-f2716c2681fd.jpg?v=1693926731","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theodore-pratt-taylor-hagood-9781683343622","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
