Geoffroy Delorme does not fit in the human world. Delorme is a creature of the forest. He learns to live without a tent or sleeping bag and forage for whatever food he can find. He blends in with the deer and, slowly, they accept him into their world. Among the deer, he experiences the beauty, pain, fear, and joy of a life lived as a part of nature, not separate from it. A unique and powerful window into how far one human is willing to go to understand an animal, this book asks us to never take for granted the flora and fauna of our world, and to work for their protection in whatever ways we can.
