Bambi: A Life in the Woods (Bambi's Classic Animal Tales) Review: Original Bambi, NOT Disney. - If you enjoy nature, a beautiful & relaxing read. Google, read history. This book ban by Nazi Germany. It was thought that author Felix Salten was depicting how the Nazis treated the Jews. Maybe he was. The story is an enduring children's classic as well as an allegory for adults. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review: The Horned Lord of the Forest - Don't get me wrong, I still love the Disney movie. It will always be one of my all-time favorites, but this book...this book...it just blows my mind. It takes subjects that were only touched on in the movie (The Circle of Life, dealing with loss, the passing of time, falling in and out of love, growing up in a dangerous world, loss of innocence, Nature Red in Tooth & Claw, Man's role in Nature), and takes them to a whole new level of beauty and terror. Characters we loved in the movie (Thumper, Friend Owl, and others) are given much deeper, more meaningful roles here, beyond your typical "cute-critter comedy relief", and not all of them make it out of this book alive... While Bambi does have its fair share of pretty nature scenes, cute animals being cute, and lovingly poetic descriptions of the woods' flora and fauna, this is oftentimes a very dark, very violent, out-right bloodbath of a story. Though these characters are given human speech and are reasonably anthropomorphic, they are still wild animals, who do not hesitate to kill for the sake of survival. There are a lot of throats being ripped out in this novel, and Bambi is not afraid to get blood on his antlers from time to time. And be sure to have a box of tissues on hand for this one. If you thought the death of Bambi's mom in the film was depressing, just wait 'till you read this. I'm telling you, the death of Bambi's mom is ONLY THE BEGINNING. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #526,047 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,283 in Children's Classics #6,997 in Children's Animals Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,012) | | Dimensions | 5.13 x 0.9 x 7.63 inches | | Edition | Reissue | | Grade level | 3 - 7 | | ISBN-10 | 1442467452 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1442467453 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Bambi's Classic Animal Tales | | Print length | 272 pages | | Publication date | February 19, 2013 | | Publisher | Aladdin | | Reading age | 8 - 12 years | ## Images ![Bambi: A Life in the Woods (Bambi's Classic Animal Tales) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wFKat1EmL.jpg) ![Bambi: A Life in the Woods (Bambi's Classic Animal Tales) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61FV5SdsHLL.jpg) ![Bambi: A Life in the Woods (Bambi's Classic Animal Tales) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41KoFiAYZVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Original Bambi, NOT Disney. *by P***A on July 6, 2023* If you enjoy nature, a beautiful & relaxing read.

I'm telling you, the death of Bambi's mom is ONLY THE BEGINNING. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ a fantasy look at an animal's life in the wild *by W***R on January 31, 2011* Most people are familiar with the story of Bambi the deer from the Walt Disney animated film of 1942. Likely not as many people are aware of the fact that the movie is based on the book Bambi: A Life in the Woods by Austrian author Felix Salten, originally published in Austria in 1923. The standard English translation by Whittaker Chambers was published in North America by Simon and Schuster in 1928. It traces the life of Bambi, a male roe deer, from his birth through childhood, the loss of his mother, the finding of a mate, the lessons he learns from his father, and his experiences with the dangers posed by human hunters in the forest. Bambi is born in a thicket to a young doe in late spring one year. Over the course of the summer, his mother teaches him about the various inhabitants of the forest and the ways deer live. When she feels he is old enough, she takes him to the meadow which he learns is both a wonderful but also a dangerous place. Bambi meets his Aunt Ena, and her twin fawns Faline and Gobo. While they are playing, they encounter the 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. As Bambi grows older, his mother begins to leave him alone. While searching for her one day, Bambi has his first encounter with "He"--the animals' term for man. During the winter, hunters enter the forest, killing many animals including Bambi's mother. Gobo also disappears and is presumed dead. The novel then skips ahead a year to the third summer when Bambi is now sporting his second set of antlers. After Bambi battles and defeats first Karus then Ronno, he and Faline express their love for one another. However, as Bambi continues to age, he begins spending most of his time alone. When Bambi is later shot by a hunter, the old Prince rescues him. The two remain together until Bambi learns that there is "Another" over all creatures, including "Him." The stag tells him that he has always loved him and calls him "my son" before leaving to die. In the end, Bambi meets with twin fawns. He thinks to himself that the girl fawn reminds him of Faline, and that the male was promising. Later, Salten wrote a sequel, Bambi's Children, that follows the lives of Bambi's twin offspring, Geno and Gurri. Disney's Bambi is less raw than the book. The novel, originally written for an adult audience and considered to be one of the first environmental novels, was thought too "grim" and "somber" for the young audience Disney was targeting, and was work required to adapt the story, severely downplaying the naturalistic elements. Some might object to what they see as the "anti-man" and "animal rights" theme of the book, but if one takes it as it was originally intended, simply a fantasy look at the kind of lives that animals experience in the forest, it is an interesting story. A few of the killing scenes might be a bit too much for small or sensitive children, but we did it as a family read aloud and everyone enjoyed it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/15441325-bambi-a-life-in-the-woods-bambis-classic-animal-tales](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/15441325-bambi-a-life-in-the-woods-bambis-classic-animal-tales) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
