First published in 1943, this is a gentle, contemplative animal tale that follows the journey of young Perri, a curious squirrel discovering the rhythms and dangers of the forest.
Written in Salten’s characteristic blend of vivid natural detail and emotional insight, the story portrays the woodland as a living community, shaped by both harmony and struggle.
Through Perri’s encounters with other creatures, the book explores themes of growth, resilience, and the delicate balance that sustains forest life.
Like Bambi, Salten’s more famous work, A Forest World invites readers to view nature with empathy and attentiveness, offering a timeless reflection on the interconnectedness of all living things.
