A review by orchidlilly
The Hidden World of the Fox by Adele Brand

informative reflective fast-paced

2.5

Absolute middle of the road. The writing was fine, if more anecdotal than strictly fact based. It's very heavily Britain centric, and the general cautioning and searches for a solution to a problem specifically relevant to the UK public. It's pleasant enough, but I feel like it would be more successful if it were edited down and published in wildlife magazines and newspapers rather than as a book.

Content Warnings

Minor: Miscarriage, Gun violence, Car accident, Excrement, Animal cruelty, Animal death, and Blood

All triggers are only briefly mentioned in passing. They are either part of the natural world as we know it (blood, animal death, roadkill, animal defecation) or briefly touched on examples of anti-fox rhetoric (people shooting foxes, fox hunting, trapping). The miscarriage mention is based on the fact that wild foxes pregnancies don't always result in successful kitting. Such is life.
