Books
Most of us think we know the story of Bambi - but do we? 'The Original Bambi' is an all-new, illustrated translation of a literary classic that presents the story as it was meant to be told. For decades, readers' images of Bambi have been shaped by the 1942 Walt Disney film, an idealised look at a fawn who represents nature's innocence, which was based on a 1928 English translation of a novel by the Austrian Jewish writer Felix Salten. This new translation gives contemporary readers a fresh perspective on this moving allegorical tale and provides important details about its creator.
