About this title

Synopsis

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 successsfully with the antlered stags.
