Torn Ear

by Geoffrey Malone

The wind carried the scent of blood far into the night, while the vixen still pawed at the broken little bodies on the pile of earth. But Torn Ear survives the game-keeper's attack. Slowly his mother introduces him to the fox's world—the skills of hunting and how to avoid danger. Then he is on his own. Until he meets Velvet, and they have cubs of their own. But again man intervenes, and his favorite cub is threatened. Torn Ear must rescue her, but will he escape the clutches of the game-keeper this time?

This book was a childhood favourite of mine as foxes were - and still are - my favourite animals. It tells the story of Torn Ear as he grows up in the woods. I really enjoyed all the details in the book as it made the settings come to live and I felt like I’d been transported into the world. If you’re looking for a quick and easy read, I’d highly recommend reading this book.

actual rating 3.5/5


It's just your standard fox xenofiction. Unmemorable but not bad.
