"...draws from the best traditions of southern literature and children's literature to tell a tale that is both deeply rooted in place and universal in appeal." - Dr Susan McCready, Professor of French at the University of South Alabama

In Big Creek, Alabama, just outside Mobile, a family of foxes compete against coyotes on Farmer Reynolds' farm near the Escatawpa River. The fox family has a treaty. If the foxes don't eat the chickens, the farmers' dog and cat will steer hunters from the fox den. Mistletoe, a fox from last year's litter, is keen on upholding that treaty and protecting his family.

But Mistletoe is up against a strong and wily foe. Coyote Thorn and his pack intend to claim the chickens for themselves, and they are prepared to fight if the foxes choose to warn Farmer Reynolds of their plans. 

With the help of the majestic stag, Ahwi, and a magical oak tree portal to another world, Mistletoe gains a powerful tail that launches fireballs. Can his newfound power and bravery end the battle between the foxes and coyotes?

Industry Reviews

"Fox: A Southern Fairy Tail draws from the best traditions of southern literature and children's literature to tell a tale that is both deeply rooted in place and universal in appeal. The characters are bright and the situations are funny and moving in turns. This is a book that will delight young readers and their parents." - Dr Susan McCready, Professor of French at the University of South Alabama

"As a Mobilian, I was completely charmed by Fox: A Southern Fairy Tail; it feels like my childhood. As an English teacher, I cannot say enough of the quality of the story, so much so that I see Fox as a useable frame to teach pacing and suspense in the higher levels of education. Most of all, Fox: A Southern Fairy Tail is a heartwarming story of life and loss but the strength of family, friends, mentors, and cooperation to overcome all." - Ms. Vonda Darnell, Middle School English Teacher
