Vulpes, this sturdy outlaw of the woods, leads a considerably chequered life. But despite his many misdeeds, which call for all the workings of his craft, he is a most attractive and heroic character, who will appeal to all children.
With its lovely illustrations, this is a story of how Vulpes (a cunning dog fox) outsmarted both men and dogs alike in order to raise another generation of foxes in the English countryside.
