A young fox is just emerging from the safety of the den. His father guides him and the other cubs to the railway station to meet a kind man who feeds them. But one day, a group of rowdy boys harass the man and he has to be taken to the hospital. The cub is very wary of the boys, but he is also very hungry, so when one of the boys comes back with food, the cub risks eating it—and so begins the start of an unusual friendship!

Author
Michael Foreman
Author · 52 books
Michael has worked on magazines, book jackets, animated films, TV adverts, and even for the police, sketching criminals described by witnesses. As well as illustrating many of his own books, Michael has illustrated over a hundred books for authors such as Shakespeare, J. M. Barrie, the Brothers Grimm, Charles Dickens and Oscar Wilde. Michael has travelled widely - to Africa, Japan, the Arctic Circle, China and Malaysia, the Himalayas, Siberia and New Zealand - to research his books. "I do a lot of research when I'm travelling - I find it thrilling to discover the particular 'art' of different landscapes and work them into a book. But I find I have to travel by myself, otherwise I'm constantly getting involved in other people's impressions of a place... I try to be invisible when I'm travelling, so I tend to listen in on conversations rather than participate in them - I just want to look and draw."
