First published in German in 1923 and English in 1928, “Bambi, a Life in the Woods” is Felix Salten’s coming-of-age tale told through the eyes of a young male roe deer named Bambi. By following Bambi’s life from childhood, through adolescence, and into adulthood, Salten gives the reader a charming story of the life of one deer. Bambi lives in the woods, a place that is both wonderful but also dangerous, for from time to time, hunters come to hunt there. In the wake of a tragedy Bambi must figure out for himself how to live in the woods. In “Bambi” we find a tale with all the challenges of growing up. While these challenges are particularly unique to that of a deer living in the woods, readers will likely find some parallel to their own lives and the challenges that we all face as we age. This classic work, which was originally intended by Salten for an adult audience, has since become one the most cherished children’s stories of all time. This edition follows the translation of Whittaker Chambers and includes all the original illustrations by Kurt Wiese.
