A Reason for My Love of Deer

I still have a children’s book, named “White Tail, King of the Forest”, by Neil Stolp Smock and published in 1938, that was one of my most prized possession when I was just a little guy. It isn’t in very good condition now, starting to come apart, but I wouldn’t part with that book for a thousand dollars! I could have doctored the photo to make the book look better, but that's not how it is and that is part of my sentiment feelings for it! I hope one of my girls will treasure it like I do.

As you no doubt can tell, deer have been close to my heart for many years, and a reason why you see photos of them in my galleries from time to time.

I've got some old books from when I was a kid, and whenever I run across one, the years vanish in a flash and I can picture myself curled up reading it for the first time. ;-)

I remember that book, Vern. I have one from Aunt Myrtle pub in 1943, cost her 40 cents. Called "Yellow Dog and Pussy Gray". It, too, is in pretty good condition for its ag e.

a spritely looking king...the well-worn condition speaks of how valued this volume must have been..

Love the illustration! I would love to read it. I feel that way about my "Make Way for Ducklings" book.
