More Description
A young girl takes control of her destiny, using her spunk and innate talents (and belief in herself) to fulfill all of her dreams. Bambi is a novel that will immerse you in the sheer delight of reading.
"I have no doubt 'Bambi' will be all the rage in your vicinage. You will be hearing about it on all sides. You will see allusions to it in your evening paper. You will observe it on the desk of your stenographer. Your wife (if you belong to the gnarled and persecuted sex) will be urging you to read it and mark it well. You yourself (if you are fair and have the price) will be wearing a Bambi petticoat or a Bambi collar or a pair of Bambi stockings or a Bambi something-more-intimate still. Such, alas, is the course that bestsellers run! It is a tale, as you may suspect, of young love, and the heroine is a brilliant young lady.....A sweet, sweet story...If you have a heart, if you can feel and understand, if your cheers for the true, the good and the beautiful are truly sincere, then this one will squeeze a tear from your laden eye and send it cascading down your nose." -H. L. Mencken, The Smart Set: A Magazine of Cleverness, Volume 44, September, 1914
"The brightest, wittiest, most optimistic and wholesome tale which it has been my pleasure to read." -The Bookman, Volume 41, March, 1915
"An entertaining tale....The vivacity and vitality of 'Bambi' make the book go, as such a radiant personality must...The most delightful heroine in a thousand." -The Independent, October, 1914
"One needs a vocabulary of adjectives, all reaching into the superlative, in order to do justice to this story. The plot is one of the most original ever presented. The marriage of the hero and heroine takes place in the strangest possible way in the beginning, and the endeavor to bring about the most desired 'happy ever after' is the motive for an exceedingly cleverly written story. The felicitous style compels the reader's interest from start to finish. 'Bambi' should become in a short while one of the bestsellers of the season." -J. J. Odgers, Burroughs Bros. Co.
