For generations the tribes of Huns and Magyars had moved relentlessly westward, obeying the voices of their pagan gods, which compelled them to follow the elusive white stag to their promised homeland. They swept Europe, all the while pursuing their vision of the stag. Their leader was called Attila, and the land Hungary. Here is the epic story of their tribal migration and their fierce leader-known to us even today.

""The wonder of a fairy tale, the stirring romance of a heroic legend, rounded out with the color, atmosphere, and poetry of this artist's retelling of the story of Attila.""-The New York Times

Reviews for The White Stag

The third of the read aloud books is - in our opinion - the finest of them all. Kate Seredy has a magic sense of story, a manner of telling that seems instinctive of the content, and her illustrations are perfect interpretation of the text. In this new book, she retells legends and history of her native Hungary, and the migrations of the Magyars and Huns from Asia to Europe. (Kirkus Reviews)
