''The White Deer'' is a 96-page children's novel written by James Thurber (author of ''The Thirteen Clocks'' and ''The Wonderful O'')〔"The White Deer." Alibris Marketplace. N.p., n.d. Web. 20 Nov. 2014. Part of the summary of the story in ''The White Deer Summary and Study Guide'' states this: “The White Deer concerns faith in love. Love depends upon the will of lovers to believe in each other despite all obstacles. Though the story is playful, fastpaced, funny, at times satirical and at times absurd, the theme is serious, as are the obstacles thrown up before the lovers. Secrets of the past and fears of the future, prejudices and the lack of imagination, accident and sorcery—all threaten love's survival.”〔"The White Deer Overview." BookRags. BookRags, n.d. Web. 17 Nov. 2014. == Praises == Kirkus Reviews wrote this review about ''The White Deer'': “For Thurber devotees -- not of his peculiar brand of humor, but of his equally personal brand of fantasy. This is a fable -- a fairy tale of medieval days and doings, of the white deer who became a Princess and was courted by three sons of King Clode -- and who, to determine the winner of her hand, sent each on a perilous labor. And it is Jorn, the youngest, and the one who loved her truly, who succeeds.”〔"THE WHITE DEER by James Thurber." Kirkus Reviews. N.p., Sept.-Oct. 2013.
