Dog is blind in one eye and cannot see. Magpie has a burned wing and cannot fly. But together the two make a perfect whole. Until Fox comes around and coaxes Magpie away from Dog.

This long-awaited paperback edition of a multi-award-wining picture book is both stunning in text and unusually powerful in its illustrations.

Short-listed in 2000 for the Kate Greenaway Medal, Fox is an archetypal drama about friendship, loyalty, risk and betrayal and is ideal for study in primary and secondary schools.
