Martin Wallen

author of Fox

November 4, 2015

This book is the first one that fully explores the fox as the object of both scorn and fascination. Fox examines in detail both the continuing acrimonious struggle concerning foxhunting and the equally contentious issues of trapping and farming to supply fox fur for the fashion industry, showing how it is the ambivalence of human attitudes towards the fox that has enabled such activities to flourish.

Profusely illustrated, and including examples of the roles played by the fox in folk-tales, films and advertising, this book is a study of an animal that lives on the margins of human culture.
