A CLASSIC DUEL OF NATURES engages two highly skilled antagonists, each one born and bred to his dangerous calling: The Fox – welcoming risks, roaming his own range, delighting in his freedom. The Hound – living for the hunt, devoting his instinct and ingenuity to the service of his master, who longs to bring the red fox to bay. Packed with incident, suspense, and superb nature writing, The Fox and the Hound is an extraordinary, authentic portrait of animal life. It is the 1967 winner of the Dutton Animal Book Award.
“A masterpiece, it is tops in the field of animal books...” – Omaha World-Herald.
