The Fox's Tale is another older picture book that has been on the shelf for years and that comes out every year during december. It is written by American author Nick Butterworth. A children's book writer who we know very well from his brilliant book series Percy, the Park Keeper.
The story of The Fox's Tale is also very well known, it is about the birth of the Christmas child, but seen through the eyes of a fox. So still an original story, although it is very well known all over the world for a very long time.
Together the beautifully sober artwork of befriended illustrator Mick Inkpen (who we also know, but then from Kipper the Dog) the book has a very unique atmosphere. We warmly recommend this picture book!
