Rosalind loves to play with her little deer in the shade of a flowering tree. Then one day a hunter and his dog accidentally frighten the deer away. The poor little deer is captured by a king and kept in a golden cage, but missing her freedom and her friend, the little deer refuses to eat. The king offers a sack of gold coins to anyone who can persuade the little deer to eat. People come from far and wide bringing delicious food for the king's prized pet, but still the deer won't eat. Can Rosalind persuade the stubborn king to part with his pet and set the little deer free? This wonderful mini gift edition of Rosalind and the Little Deer reproduces Elsa Beskow's classic illustrations and beloved story in an adorable small format -- ideal for little hands.
