The novel traces the life of Bambi, a male wild deer, from his birth through childhood, the loss of his mother, the finding of a mate, the lessons he learns from his father, and the experience he gains about the dangers posed by human hunters in the forest.
The novel was well received by critics and is considered a classic, as well as one of the first environmental novels.
