Improbable... Never Impossible

by Vixyy Fox

What you are about to read is certainly nothing like anything you might have read before. Just so you know, I do not write for children. My stories are meant to be enjoyed by adults and occasionally they tend to be of an adult nature. For this ‘anthology’ I have selected a baker’s dozen plus one that I feel represent a range that will give you laughter and perhaps have you shed a few tears in the process.

The first story is the name sake of this book. It is a small piece but long a favorite. Let’s just say it goes to my belief that nothing is impossible; especially when it comes to the characters within my stories. I do not write them; I live with them. In this I simply observe and record what I see. The creatures you will read about in these pages became my dear friends with whom I have become very attached.

The second story is about the father of anthropomorphism; Aesop. Long before Walt Disney (another of my favorite anthropomorphism forefathers) invented a mouse who could talk, Aesop delighted his listeners with many fables of talking animals; such as ‘The Tortoise and the Hare’.

Though I do not profess to walk in Aesop’s sandals, I still consider him one of my forebears (no pun intended – I am a Fox after all and not a Bear).

The rest of the stories I will leave you to discover for yourself. Perhaps too, you will come to the realization that the imagination you had as a child did not disappear as you grew older; but stayed with you just waiting for a moment such as this to make its re-emergence.

[William Fontana · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this collection of short stories much more than I thought I would. All of the stories are wonderful, imaginative, and have a fairie-tale like quality to them that makes them truly inspiring to read and lends back to early childhood memories of my parents telling me such stories. I will say that there are some stories in this book that contain adult content and it is by no means a children's book (As I fear I implied with the reference to child's fairie tales). I would say that the book is certainly appropriate for a mature 13 year old and older. Not a book I will ever forget, especially Wharton, the last story in the book. As for what this story is about? I suppose you shall have to read to know...

An entertaining collection of stories featuring talking animal characters of varying kinds. Whether it's a mystical murder case featuring a courtroom full of transforming foxes, a take on the classic pied piper with a bar full of rats, or stories featuring soldiers, tanks, aircraft, animal spirits, Vikings and even holiday cheer, you get a wide selection of tales that are sometimes funny, sometimes serious, but always charming. Though the stories do feel a bit disconnected from one another at times, they are all well written with Miss Vixyy Fox's genuine and unmistakable style.
