Description
A Newbery Award Book
The Newbery Medal is awarded annually by the American Library Association for "the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children"
"The wonder of a fairy tale, the stirring romance of heroic legend, rounded out with the color, atmosphere, and poetry of this artist's retelling of the story of Attila." - The New York Times
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.
