A fictional account of the life of a young roe deer named Fawn. "October was a month of plenty for both birds and beasts. Full, plump acorns pattered to the ground from the great oaks of the woodlands and beneath their spreading branches the wood pigeons stuffed their crops; in the valley fields the rooks and sea-gulls were clamorous behind the ploughs, their voices drowning the merry singing of the soaring lark. .And Fawn, the little roe deer, concealed in the bracken, took her ease until night fell. then came the moment for running and leaping and joying through the great dark wood." The adventures of Fawn are based on the author's observations of roe deer in the Lake District and ".Descriptions of birds, animals and insects are true to nature, and may be accepted as a guide by young readers interested in natural history." .
