Vanaseemalalo – Maheedhara Nalini Mohan (telugu translator)

‘Vanaseemalalo’ is the telugu translated version of the book ‘Bambi – A Life in woods’ written by Felix Jalten in 1924.

Bambi is the story of a roe deer who lives in the forest with his mom. It’s all about his exploration of life in woods. It’s an animal story told in the perspective of animals. All the animals in this story can speak and in one chapter, two leaves speak too before their peril. Of all the animal stories I read so far, this one is a total contrast. The description is so real and there’s no silly talking at all. The relationship between man, animals and nature told from the perspective of a deer is very well written.

This book seems to be a child’s read from its look, but it is not just for children. So many issues like life,death,relationships etc are dealt in a truly inspiring manner.

It’s a delightful read for me :)
