Fox & I
Raven, CatherineWhen a wild fox visits her remote Montana property every afternoon on the dot, biologist Catherine Raven - astonishingly - starts reading The Little Prince to him. As the daily rendezvous continues and her scientific training fails to prevent anthropomorphising the situation, a powerful bond develops between woman and fox.
Musing on nature and solitude, this is a fascinating memoir with challenging insights that raise interesting questions and ethical dilemmas around our relationship with animals and nature.

Most found the book difficult to engage with at first. We appreciated her beautiful use of language to describe nature and fox, and his engagement with their shared environment. She seemed to come to terms with herself and her personality.

Those that read this book loved it, and persuaded those that didn't persevere to try again, and they were rewarded.
