The Hidden World of the Fox by Adele Brand
3.0
I am firmly in the "love them" camp when it comes to foxes and I really enjoyed reading The Hidden World of the Fox.
Ecologist Adele Brand covers their evolution, cultural history, and philosophical questions alongside her personal experience from her scientific studies and rescue work with foxes.
Unlike the formal writing style that hampers many academics writing for a lay audience, Brand writes with the deft of a novelist, meaning this is a heartfelt, poetic and personable read.
The only thing letting the book down is the lack of pictures which would have added greatly to the descriptions.
Nonetheless, this would make a great holiday season gift for the fox-lover in your life.
