Finding the Fox : Encounters with an Enigmatic Animal

An intimate portrait of a mysterious and misunderstood animal. Few predators live as close to humans as the fox, an animal that seems to appear everywhere in our cultural history--from sly, fast, and thief-like foxes in fairy tales to modern versions like Roald Dahl's The Fantastic Mr. Fox. In this meditative and page-turning book, Andreas Tjernshauge traces the journey of the fox through his local forest in Norway. As he observes fox tracks and discovers secret dens, he spots other animals and plant life that populate the fox's ecosystem, and muses on the fascinating literature, folklore, legends, and scientific discoveries relating to foxes throughout history.
