Beschreibung

This classic, award-winning novel and the basis for the animated Disney movie is "a masterpiece, it is tops in the field of animal books" (Omaha World-Herald).

Winner of the Dutton Animal Book Award Winner of the Athenaeum Literary Award Reader's Digest Book Club

Two animals on opposites sides of the hunt--one a loyal, domesticated companion, the other a wily, solitary trickster. Copper is a large bloodhound mix, prized for his scenting ability. He longs for the thrill of the chase and for his human's praise. Yet he could lose his place in the pack to any of the younger, faster dogs around him . . .

Tod the fox is familiar with the ways of men and hounds; he had been raised by and lived among them as a pup--but not for long. Instinct drives him back into the wilderness, where he learns to spring the traps set for him, catch the attention of vixens, and survive the seasons.

In the natural order of things, Copper and Tod are enemies, but it's the changing world around them that could prove to be the greatest threat of all . . .

"No one who has the slightest interest in animals should miss reading The Fox and the Hound." --The Plain Dealer

"A lively and engrossing animal book . . . a really exciting story." --Associated Press

"A story of a hunt told in a way it seldom is, completely from the viewpoint of the animals. . . . It is wonderful how Mannix has entered so completely into the animals' way of looking at life." --Publishers Weekly

Portrait

Daniel P. Mannix was an award-winning American author and journalist, as well as a magician and filmmaker. Mannix's magazine articles about his experiences in the carnival, where he performed under the stage name "The Great Zadma," became popular in the mid-1940s and were compiled with the assistance of his wife in the book Step Right Up! His dozens of books and extensive essays range in subject from children's animal stories, environmental issues, and hunting accounts to historical examinations of the Hellfire Club, the Atlantic slave trade, and the Roman gladiatorial games. Mannix was particularly interested in the Wizard of Oz canon and composed a biography of L. Frank Baum for American Heritage magazine in the 1960s.
