Old Tree 03. Foolish Miss Crow (Firmin) by Peter Firmin
This Aesop update is a great! A fox with a camera :-) I love Firmin's bright vibrant and adorable art! That foolish Miss Crow. So easily enticed by the clever Mr. Fox to become weighted down by her own vanity! Yes, she becomes ever more beautiful with every bit clothing and jewelry... Mr. Fox is photographer and just wants her to model for him... Until Mr. Fox insists she is so beautiful that he must have her over for dinner. Oh, yeah! You guessed it!
