About this ebook
The beloved story of a deer in the forest reaches a new generation of readers with a fresh new look.
Bambi’s life in the woods begins happily. There are forest animals to play with and Bambi’s twin cousins, Gobo and beautiful Faline.
But winter comes, and Bambi learns that the woods hold danger—and things he doesn't understand. The first snowfall makes food hard to find. Bambi’s father, a handsome stag, roams the forest, but leaves Bambi and his mother alone.
Then there is Man. He comes to the forest with weapons that can wound an animal. Bambi is scared that Man will hurt him and the ones he loves. But Man can’t keep Bambi from growing into a great stag himself, and becoming the Prince of the Forest.
Repackaged with a vibrant, fresh cover for the first time in two decades, this timeless tale of a young deer’s woodland life is an ideal collectible.

Highly recommend this book with its insight into mentorship and the relationship between a father and son. Unlike the Disney cartoon, which is a beautiful story in its own right, the original tale spends much more time describing the interactions between Bambi and the Old Stag. One particularly meaningful moment was when Bambi unwittingly was walking into a trap that would have been the end of him had it not been for the direct and confrontational actions of his father. This book is certainly not for little ones as it presents a much darker tone than its movie counterpart. But I would highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys reading fairy tales and appreciates good writing when they see it.

I loved this book!! This brings you into the hearts and minds of forest creatures and how humans to them are alien and dangerous.
