The books in the Florida and the Caribbean Open Books Series demonstrate the University Press of Florida’s long history of publishing Latin American and Caribbean studies titles that connect in and through Florida, highlighting the connections between the Sunshine State and its neighboring islands. Books in this series show how early explorers found and settled Florida and the Caribbean. They tell the tales of early pioneers, both foreign and domestic. They examine topics critical to the area such as travel, migration, economic opportunity, and tourism. They look at the growth of Florida and the Caribbean and the attendant pressures on the environment, culture, urban development, and the movement of peoples, both forced and voluntary. The Florida and the Caribbean Open Books Series gathers the rich data available in these architectural, archaeological, cultural, and historical works, as well as the travelogues and naturalists’ sketches of the area in prior to the twentieth century, making it accessible for scholars and the general public alike. The Florida and the Caribbean Open Books Series is made possible through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, under the Humanities Open Books program.

Book Description
Theodore Pratt (1901-1969) was the author of fifteen books that depict the Sunshine State, earning him the informal title of “Literary Laureate of Florida” in the mid-twentieth century. He portrayed the culture of south Florida, especially in his “Florida Trilogy”—which includes his most famous book, The Barefoot Mailman (1943), and continues with The Flame Tree (1948) and The Big Bubble (1949). He also wrote vividly about the Florida Keys in Mercy Island (1941), the Everglades in Escape to Eden (1953), and Chief Osceola in a novel and a play both called Seminole (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, Florida Roundabout (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.
