Description
The Celts called them 'fairy cattle' and the Greeks associated them with the hunter-goddess Artemis, but for most people today, deer are seen as cute, like Bambi, or noble, like the Monarch of the Glen. Deer appear on coats of arms, in fine art, and in literature.
In Deer, veterinarian and deer farmer John Fletcher brings together the cultural and natural history of these fascinating animals.
