He does not care about strength, fierceness or any of the things young bulls should value. He enjoys the sublime beauty of the countryside - it's scents, colours and tranquility. One day he is taken from his quiet life and placed right in the bustle of the busy bull-fighting ring. How will he react? The soft-natured Ferdinand is a bull that has delighted many generations of children. Munro Leaf's story was first published in 1936.
