Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
I adore the fox for its magnificence; I hate the fox for killing my chickens.
To love and loathe the fox is a British condition.
The fox is our apex predator, our most beautiful and clever killer. We have witnessed its wild touch, watched it slink by bins at night and been chilled by its high-pitched scream. And yet we long to stroke the tumbling cubs outside their tunnel homes and watch the vixen stalk the cornfield.
There is something about foxes. They captivate us like no other species.
Exploring a long and sometimes complicated relationship, The Wild Life of the Fox captures our love - and sometimes loathing - of this magnificent creature in vivid detail and lyrical prose.

Not What I was Expecting
This is the third book by this author that I have read, The Running Hare and the Year in the Woods one (?) were both fascinating. I loved the content but really felt I learned so much from them about nature and traditional farming.
However this book (apart from being much shorter than the others) was less about the life and behaviour of the fox, which I was looking forward to learning about, and more about the history of fox hunting. Obviously this needed referencing in a book about foxes, for information purposes if nothing else. However I don’t feel I benefitted from this book in the enchanting way I did from the others.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
