I received this book in the mail today. It won the Newbery Medal in 1938. Thanks, bunzrun!
From the back cover:
For generations the tribes of Huns and Magyars had moved relentlessly westward, obeying the voices of their pagan gods, which compelled them to follow the elusive white stag to their promised homeland. They swept Europe, all the while pursuing their vision of the stag. Their leader was called Attila, and the land Hungary. Here is the epic story of their tribal migration and their fierce leader - known to us even today.
I didn't care for this book much - not sure if it was the author's writing style, the story itself, or both that didn't appeal to me.

Tomorrow I am mailing this book to BigEyes in Connecticut as part of the "Never Never Relay". Enjoy!
