The Wild Life of the Fox

When I go to the local bookshop, I try as much as possible to behave. But then I often treasures which I cannot pass. Not always great literature, just nice little books which I want to have and want to read. So yes, last time I went there, a few weeks ago I stumbled on The Wild Life ofthe Fox, so I bought it on a whim. Sometimes you buy a book for its cover, sometimes for its subject, in this case it was for both reasons. I love foxes and this is teaching me a lot about them, showing them not only their place in the animal kingdom, but their significance in folklore and art.

  1. I hope there's some stories in there about the Japanese trickster Kitsune!
