"The White Stag" is a book by Kate Seredy that won the Newbery Medal for excellence in American children's literature in 1938. It follows a warrior band who are the Huns and Magyars across Asia and into Europe. They follow a mythic White Stag to a Promised land and suffer hardships and face battles. It also is a mythical account of Attila the Hun.

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 Attilla, and the land Hungary. The mythology of the white stag as told by Kate Seredy forms the basis for the White Stag Legend used by the White Stag Leadership Development Program.
