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 - know to us even today.

Review of 'The White Stag' on 'Goodreads'

(read over a few nights this past winter, from a older, nicely illustrated hard cover) ... Memorable story, neatly told. Bits and pieces seemed vaguely familiar. Count it among the many pieces of folklore that deserve to be more widely known & reflected upon. Greek & Roman, Norse, & Celtic get almost all the attention at least in the English-speaking, Western popular culture.

It's showing up as read two times because I don't know how to edit the date read from read with no date to a guess of when I read it, but I've only read it once so far. Will reread though, I'm sure.
