- Abstract
- en_US A curiously fetching tale of a woman with three children during the first postwar Christmas in London. In the setting of their (ungiven) Christmas gifts to the child in the crib, she tells the tale. On 48 there are references to the fox with the torch tied to its tail, to FC, Chanticleer, and The Fox and the Goat in the Well. The tale she tells would not work so well without these quick little references to the fables. Bewick's illustrations for Aesop are used on 54 (FG), 59 (FC, also on the dust jacket cover), and 64 ( The Fox and the Goat in the Well ). A wistful and humane little book. The extra copy has a different cover and extra endpapers.
