This marvelous tale can be appreciated on many levels, and is as enchanting to a 50-year old as to a 5-year old. The story about Franky Furbo (a mutant super-intelligent fox) and his adventures as he discovers and learns to use his abilities. Themes of loss and redemption, love and caring, genetics and civilizations are woven through a strong story line that culminates with Franky finding out the astonishing truth about who he is. A delicious read.

out of print ~worth the read
william wharton ( author of "birdy", "dad" , "a midnight clear"~and i mention those only cuz they were made into movies so you may have a frame of reference) this book represents a consolidation of bedtime stories wharton told his kids. the great thing is it's a story just as intriguing for adults. i found my first copy in a bin of $.50 paperbacks and then consistently tracked down used copies in manhattan and made them gifts for friends. my husband gave me a signed first edition for a b'day present and i could not have cried more. it's fantasy/science fiction/brother's grimm/ family loyalty and world war II. if you have an affinity for animals ( and are sympathetic to the anthropomorphic take on things), this is for you. william wharton ( a pen name ) lives in france and has written several other amazing books that unfortunately are also hard to come by: "scumbler", "last lovers", "houseboat on the siene", "ever after", "pride", "tidings". all are worth the effort to find and read and pass on.
