The Life of a Fox is a rather pretty conception and no more exhaustive account of fox life has ever appeared before or since. Different counties have their distinguishing characteristics which it might have been difficult to include in a single narrative without breaking its continuity Mr Smith therefore drawing upon his experience of several countries summoned representatives from each and made each fox tell his own tale giving pride of place to one from his county.
