The Story of Ferdinand
Book • 1936
The story follows Ferdinand, a bull who would rather sit under a cork tree and smell flowers than engage in the aggressive behavior of other bulls.
Despite his peaceful nature, Ferdinand is mistakenly chosen for the bullfights in Madrid.
However, when he enters the bull ring, he sits down to smell the flowers in the women's hair, disappointing the matador and other fighters.
The book has been celebrated for its message of nonviolence and pacifism since its publication in 1936.
