Fox is a picture book in a class of its own. A compelling drama about friendship, loyalty, risk and betrayal - a story that is as rich for adults as for children. A ground-breaking picture book that has been translated into many languages and won prizes and awards around the world. Dog has only one eye and Magpie only one wing, but when Dog runs through the forest with Magpie on his back, they are exultant. In the evenings they sit outside the cave, enjoying the night air and each other's company. Then Fox comes into the bush - Fox with his haunted eyes and rich red coat - and Magpie trembles. Fox tempts Magpie away - at first she resists, stays loyal to her friend Dog, but the third time she says, 'I will come'.
