Bambi

Felix Salten

Bambi is a roe deer fawn born in a thicket in late spring. Over the course of the summer, his mother teaches him about the various inhabitants of the forest and the ways deer live.

They quickly become friends and share what they have learned about the forest. While they are playing, they encounter princes, male deer, for the first time. After the stags leave, the fawns learn that those were their fathers, but that the fathers rarely stay with or speak to the females and young.
