'A lovely little book ... quietly lyrical, often funny and gently
persuasive' Sunday Times 'Succinct, clear, sophisticated. I
couldn't stop reading it' Jeff VanderMeer We've all seen the fox. A
flash of his brushy tail disappearing between the gap of a fence, a
blaze of orange caught in the headlights as he scampers across the
road. We've heard him too, his strange barks echoing in the city
night. Perhaps we've even come face to face with him, eyes meeting
for a few moments before he disappears once more into the darkness.
But where is he going, and what is his world really like? In The
Hidden World of the Fox, ecologist Adele Brand shines a light on
one of Britain's most familiar yet enigmatic animals, showing us
how the astonishing senses, intelligence and behaviour that allowed
foxes to thrive in the ancient wildwood now help them survive in
the concrete car parks and clattering railway lines of our cities
and towns. The result of a lifelong obsession, Brand adds a wealth
of firsthand experience to this charming, lyrical love letter to
the fox, whether she's fostering their cubs, studying their
interactions with humans, or catching them on hidden cameras
everywhere from the Bialowieza forest of Poland and the Thar desert
of India to the classic English countryside of her home in the
North Downs. While encounters with a host of furry acquaintances -
Chatter, Old Dogfox, Sooty, the Interloper, the Vixen from Across
the Road - will delight and amuse, her message about the importance
of living peaceably side-by-side with nature will linger long after
the last page is turned.
