Illustrated by
Richard Cowdrey.
Salten's classic story of a deer growing to be a buck under the tutelage of an old stag, first translated into English in 1928, is repackaged with new art. Cowdrey's black-and-white illustrations, reminiscent of woodblock prints, have some of the wide-eyed sweetness of the Disney art but are generally more sophisticated, making this an attractive new edition.
