Looking for a collection of stories (3-ish) about foxes, all from the fox’s perspective with little-to-no human interaction. Very descriptive of the natural environment, tells of fox’s travels, struggle to survive, escape a hunt, etc. Would have been read in the mid-80’s, not sure of publication year. Likely for pre-teen/young adult readers, and may have been purchased through a Scholastic Book Sale. Not sure if all stories were from the same author, but writing was very similar for all. Total length of the collection was around 120-150 pages. If memory serves, the title of one story was fairly long (may also have been the title of the collection), other titles were short. The book I read was a brown hardcover, some light illustration on the dust cover. Previous searches have turned up “Red Fox” by Charles G.D. Roberts. I do not believe that is the book I am looking for, though the synopses would be very similar.
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
I read lots of stories about foxes in my growing up years. Check out these titles: Cinnabar, the One O’ Clock Fox; Haunt Fox; The Fox and the Hound (NOT the Disney version); and the beautifully written The Running Foxes (author on this last one is Joyce Stranger).
Not a collection, but some chapters told from the foxes’ POV: Old One-Toe by Michel-Aime’ Baudouy, translated from French by Marie Ponsot. Scholastic, 1971.
