Beyond charming and with a lot of heart, foxes, food, and fun, this book's worth a read. The illustrations are great, the information on deer hounds is adorable, the foxes are some of the nicest ones you'll ever meet in a book, and it won't take you long to devour this treasure.
At under two-hundred pages, this is a fast and fun read with one of the best deer hounds ever written into a book.
