Abstract

en_US
Atlantis Verlag in Zurich apparently published the original of this book in German in 1972. Longman Young published it in English in the same year. This edition is identified as a reissue of that imprint, but it is not clear to me that the publisher is the same, even though the English copyright belongs to Kestrel in 1972. This is a landscape-formatted book that expands FC. Left-hand pages feature text and black-and-white designs, while right-hand pages each offer one colored illustration that fills the page. The fox's many attempts at finding food on the story's night bring him to a rooster who says that he sees the farmer's hounds coming. Ducks, hares, and mice similarly outsmart and elude him. As the night is ending, he comes upon a raven with a knob of cheese in his mouth, and the fox invites him to join in a chorus to the rising sun. The raven succumbs to the first temptation. The raven is soon able to feast on berries, and then he again squawks his chorus to the rising sun. Good condition.
