THE WHITE DEER

For Thurber devotees — not of his peculiar brand of humor, but of his equally personal brand of fantasy. This is a fable — a fairy tale of medieval days and doings, of the white deer who became a Princess and was courted by three sons of King Clode — and who, to determine the winner of her hand, sent each on a perilous labor. And it is Jorn, the youngest, and the one who loved her truly, who succeeds.
