3.0
A story from the perspective of a mysterious black fox in the British countryside during the 1940s, focusing on themes of spirituality and the relationship between humankind and the wild.
Author Brian Carter takes much pleasure in meandering in nature, consistently describing the setting in great detail throughout the book, working to immerse the reader in the mundanities of the wild. In contrast, action is relatively scarce, spread throughout the story and described sparingly.
If you're a fan of naturalist-animal xenofiction or stories that bask in the affections of nature, you will love this classic of the genre.
