in This Story, A Gentleman Fox Outwits Three Crass And Vindictive Farmers In Order To Protect His Family From Extinction. The Beginning Chapters Describe The Characters, The Following Sixteen Present A Constant Stream Of Adventures As The Bitter Confrontation Ensues Between Mr. Fox And Boggis, Bunce And Bean. Chapter Titles Announce The Direction The Story Is Taking. Clever Use Of Language Gives An Aura Of Refinement To The Fox Family, While One Of Villainy Surrounds The Farmers. When Bean Announces That I Want That Fox! I'm Going To Get That Fox! I'm Not Giving In Till I've Strung Him Up Over My Front Porch, Dead As A Dumpling! The Reader Immediately Aligns With Mr. Fox Despite The Fact That He Is Stealing Chickens! The Line Drawings, With Washes Of Gray Are Spontaneous And Lively. Not A Page Goes By Without A Detailed Drawing Reinforcing The Mood Of The Story. Seeing Bean's Ears Filled With All Kinds Of Muck And Wax And Bits Of Chewing Gum And Dead Flies And Stuff Like That Only Strengthens The Reader's Dislike Of The Character. This Illustrated Reinterpretation Highlights The Vibrant Qualities Of This Story. 1998 (orig.
