The Tivington nott - Alex Miller

Based on the lives of real people in Somerset on the borders of Exmoor, Miller
tells his own story of a young labourer swept up in the adventure of riding
second horse in a west country stag hunt. Finding himself in a closed social
system in which he has neither status nor power, the young man identifies with
the aberrant Tivington nott stag, which, despite its lack of antlers, has become
a legend in the district for its ability to elude the hunt and to compete
successfully with the antlered stags in the rut.
