Description:

This is one of my favorite books of all time. The Disney version really touched me as a child, which lead to me reading the original book. The novel is a completely different story and experience, yet every bit as powerful (if not more-so) for very different reasons. If the Disney film is a children's story about how people change, the novel is a story for adults about how the world changes. It's also one of the best stories about survival, cunning, and living amongst nature that I've ever read. When I was a little kid, I often went to sleep and had dreams of being a wild fox because of the images this story painted in my mind were so well-realized and striking. Unfortunately, this book is now long out of print and it will likely stay that way. As such, I've decided to upload a PDF version of it here, so new generations can still enjoy this powerful story about nature, the struggle to survive, the mind of wild beasts, and the ephemeral quality of the world that we're all born into.
