![]() ![]() All that is truly horrific for a young fox trapped in a cage in her house who witnesses what happens to a rabbit she’s been painting. She’d stuff the skin and keep the stuffed creature in her home. No, she’d kill it with ether, then skin it and eat the meat. We all knew that, right? Well, according to this author, after she’d finished her paintings for a story, she didn’t set the animal free. ![]() ![]() That’s right, it turns out that Beatrix liked to paint woodland creatures from life. One story made me laugh, though – because the truly horrific villain of that story is – Beatrix Potter! The storyteller is correct – it’s worth staying to hear the end of the stories.īut these are truly scary stories – too scary for me! There’s an abusive fox-father in a really disturbing situation, and there’s the “yellow smell” that infects foxes so they go crazy and attack other foxes, spreading the “yellow smell.” We follow the stories of two young fox kits in particular who lose the protection of their mothers. One by one, the kits are too scared and leave the storytelling, until only one is left. ![]() This is a book of an old fox telling scary stories to a family of young foxes. Review written November 26, 2019, from a library book ![]()
