Actually it is a very good read, it is a natural histoy of the red stag in austria, written around 1890's i believe, The stag bambi hates the rabbits and squirrls because they eat his food, the Squirrls only live 6 months or so and the one bambi meets at the beginning of the story is actually the great great great grandfather of the one he talks to at the end.(the original get its throat ripped out by a ferret). the owl hunts mice and such,the fox hunt and kill the phesants, and inturn are run by the hunters dogs. A fawn is captured and raised by man and released back into the wild by man. there are poachers, hunters and bambi's father in it as well and does teach him how to avoid the hunters dogs. Definatly not what disney turned it into...
