Summary:
"No one's smarter than Reynard the Fox! The clever fox has been with us since Aesop first recorded his fables. But it was in the Middle Ages when he became a folk-hero, known by the French name 'Reynard'. Tales of his cunning and ingenious schemes were passed on from generation to generation across Europe. The original likeable rogue, Reynard is not to be trusted, but we love him anyway! Here the trail of the elusive Reynard is taken up in a fresh and vibrant retelling of his best known escapades." --publisher's website.
