Fantastic Mr Fox Roald Dahl

But Mr Fox has a bold idea, and his ingenuity may help more than his own household. Roald Dahl's compact adventure combines comic villains with a resourceful hero, offering lively reading about courage, cooperation and the difference between cleverness used to help and greed used to harm.
