Hardcover. Etat : Good. Bound in pictorial buckram cloth. Hardcover. Good binding and cover. Library stamps and markings. Shelf wear. "Originally published in 1923, Salten's story is more somber than the adaptations that followed it. Life in the forest is dangerous and precarious, and Bambi learns important lessons about survival as he grows to become a strong, heroic stag. It explores the tensions that Salten experienced in his own life, as a hunter who also loved animals, and as an Austrian Jew who sought acceptance in Viennese society even as he faced persecution." - Princeton University Press.

This first printing of the First UK edition is notable for its literary introduction by Nobel laureate John Galsworthy, who praises the work's depth and the translator's skill in conveying Salten's original prose.
