A beautiful children1s story originally published in Tokyo, Japan, in 1989. This English translation by Kyoko Selden has charming color illustrations by Christina Sun. The book tells the story of a little boy named Kanta, who lives way up in the mountains, and a magic deer. While out in the snow with his relatives, hunting wild asparagus, Kanta finds a young deer that is weeping in the shadow of a tree. He takes the fawn home, names him Poyu, and raises him through the summer. But there is something unusual about Poyu. He grows so much faster than the rest of the deer. It is like magic. When hunting season returns with the snow, Poyu disappears and Kanta must find him again.

Buddha comes to the city of Benares in the form of a golden deer and persuades the King to stop killing all the deer in the area.
It is found among the old, old histories of the Tibetans that a female demon living among the mountains in Northern India mated with a monkey from the forests of Tibet, and from this union sprang the Tibetan race of people. The greater part of their literature is of a sacred nature, telling of their creation, of the formation of the world, of Buddha and his miraculous birth and death, of his reincarnations and the revisions of his teachings. A kind of almanac, a little astronomy, plans for casting a horoscope, and many books filled with religious teachings and superstitions, including the worship of devils and demons, are about all that can be found. The 49 little stories in this book are told as the people sit around their boiling tea made over a three stone camp-fire. They are handed down from father to son, from mother to daughter, and though often filled with their superstitious beliefs, through them all run a vein of humor and the teachings of a moral truth which is quite unexpected. These tales were gathered by Dr. A. L. Shelton on his trips among the Tibetans, around their camp-fires at night, and in their black tents high up in the mountains. Every country has its folk-lore tales that have always been a joy and pleasure to the children, not only of their own land, but of other lands as well. May these stories add a little to this pleasure and enjoyment everywhere, in whatsoever tongue they may be translated or in whatever land they may be read. Flora Beal Shelton 1925
