"Beautifully written and marvellously observed, [this book] is the story of a young buck deer growing up in the chalk hills and ash woods of the South Downs. Reminiscent in approach and imaginative insight of Tarka the Otter by the author's own father, the novel succeeds - without a trace of sentimentality - in evoking the timeless world of nature in a manner that is totally convincing".
