Fantastic Mr Fox

Product Information

Little do they know, the fox they want to deal with is far too clever for them, digs a tunnel right to their farms, steals their food and comes back unharmed (the only part harmed is his tail which was shot off by the brutes). Tobias Picker adapted the book into an opera which had its world premiere at the Los Angeles Opera performing 9–22 December in 1998. On the way to their next destination, Mr Fox runs into his friend Badger and asks him to accompany him on his mission, as well as to extend an invitation to the feast to the other burrowing animals - Badger and his family, as well as the Moles, the Rabbits and the Weasels - to apologize for getting them caught up in the farmers' hunt.

He was a fighter pilot for the RAF during World War Two, and it was while writing about his experiences during this time that he started his career as an author. In 1994, Fantastic Mr Fox was awarded the Read Aloud BILBY Award from the Children's Book Council of Australia. These greedy farmers can spare some but instead they hunt the fox and now he is trapped underground forever. We all know that foxes are perceived to be shy and cunning creatures and in Fantastic Mr Fox he shows just how cunning he can be when he outwits three greedy, mean and cruel farmers who want to kill him!

Whilst I didn’t think there was as much dark humour and wit as in some of Dahl’s other stories it is still a fun and entertaining read.
