The Story of a Red Deer

"The Story of a Red Deer" by J. W. Fortescue is a heartwarming story, set in the late 1800s, following a young red deer's life, showing the wonders of nature and relationships of its environment. Starting with our red deer calf nestled on a fern patch with its mother, it begins to have awareness with the warmth of the sun and scents of nature. The story continues as the mother teaches the calf many things relating to safety, respect and its identity as a red deer. The story's charm is the calf's growth in nature with its family, and the relationships through all the animals.
