About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Adventures of Lightfoot the Deer by Thornton W. Burgess. The Adventures of Lightfoot the Deer is another set of children’s stories by the conservationist, Thornton W. Burgess. More serious than some of Burgess' other children's books, much of this book chronicles the tense predator-prey relationship of a human hunter and Lightfoot the Deer during the autumn hunting season. Later, Lightfoot discovers a hunt of a different kind. (Summary by Jill Engle)
