Illustrated by
Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen.
The first chapter of Salten's classic Bambi is illustrated with lush paintings full of life and light. The slightly abbreviated text tells the story of Bambi's birth and first encounter with neighboring birds. There is no real plot, but the words and pictures convey a love of the wilderness.
