Brown streak, Gray fury

"Blindly through the trees ran Geno. With great leaps, with spinning turns, doubling and dodging, straight as an arrow whenever it was possible, he tried to elude the wolf-dog. Now his speed, once matched against the birds, came into play. His belly whitened with the snow it scraped, so stretched to speed he was. His breath flew behind him like the spume from a waterfall, freezing in the icy air to tiny points of smoke; but the chase could not last. Geno was young. The blood of Bambi did not course through muscles mature enough to carry out its urgings. Moreover, Geno, like all the forest creatures, was weak from the winter's scarcity, while Nero had never gone hungry. Geno's legs grew heavy. His heart seemed to swell within him. His lungs labored. The wolf dog's legs seemed strong as tough, resilient yew, his heart as firm as stone, his lungs as steady as live oak. As Geno weakened, he became more powerful. His breath coursed through his nostrils with the sound of a summer storm. The lather round his jaws was like the scum on standing water. 'Help!' cried Geno. 'Help!'"

Please mods, do not deactivate this image because Nero/the wolf-dog doesn't have a character page, I don't plan on making him one since he already has a story in Bambi's Children. Thanks :)

Yes, this is indeed quoted from the sequel

The books have been reprinted recently (in English) by Barnes and Noble, I'm sure you can find them easily on Amazon. But here's something I luckily discovered a while ago: http://www.childrensbooksonline.org/Bambi/pages/001_Bambi.htm The whole book scanned for free, also downloadable!

Is this paraphrased/quoted from the book? Is it in English? I've been wanting to get Bambi and the sequel if I could just find them.
