As if ''Animal Farm'' had been crossed with ''The Wind in the Willows,'' this all but untranslatable Moravian folk tale comes alive and reveals how Sharp Ears the fox exposes mankind's clumsiness and at the same time celebrates freedom and the cycle of the seasons.

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

"Smooth white logs, and those damned thieves stole them right out from under my nose," snarled forester Bartos as he stormed out the door of the police station. His rage was gradually ebbing, the way a hurricane ebbs, but thunder still roared through the dark corners of his soul.
