Bambi by Felix Salten
5.0
Treasure.
This is a true coming of age story. The movie is there, in the subtext, but this story is far richer and darker and fuller than the well-known movie version.
Bambi is a sweet fawn who’s faced with death, love, kindness, cruelty, and eventually grows to be a protector, but also isolated from the other creatures of the forest, including those he loves. He’s worn by his own dark circumstances, and the visions of death he must deal with daily in the wild. He definitely depicts a deer, and each animal’s dialogue seems to depict its species fittingly.
I loved this book. It’s worth a read.
