The story of a young skunk who wishes to know more than is necessary to remain inside the field where he lives with all the other skunks. (He is an outcast-a wanderer-a dreamer). All the other skunks are black with white stripes-he is white with a black stripe. He sets out upon a great adventure to learn all about the outside world. He comes to know friendship, loss and love. He also comes to learn about himself. A story for the ages-a tale for all ages. (Where Watership Down meets The Little Prince).
