About Fox
Fox, by Margaret Wild, illustrated by Ron Brooks.
Fox is a modern fable presented in the picture book format that deals with love, friendship, jealousy and betrayal.
Dog and Magpie are friends out of choice and necessity but they are content and at peace. Then Fox arrives in the bush. He brings with him the smell of rage and envy and loneliness. Dog welcomes Fox into their home and offers him food and shelter.
Always the outsider, unable to fit in, Fox quietly begins tempting Magpie to take a ride on his back. Undermining their friendship and love for each other, Fox desires to destroy Magpie and Dog, one way or another!
