From Wall Street Journal bestselling author L.J. ![]() ![]() ![]() I have to admit that, when I saw this latest volume, I didn’t stop to consider at all, and bought it straight away. OK, I was critical of the last 2 of the author’s books in the series, and said that I would think hard about buying any further volumes. I do appreciate how balanced Lewis-Stempel's view of foxes is: you can love and loathe them at the same time, and most important thing is to understand that foxes do not act out from malice. Lewis-Stempel only scratched the surface here, and if a reader has not read on the subject previously, it will most likely leave them wanting more. ![]() I feel like Lucy Jones's Foxes Unearthed handled the discussion of hunting better, because it is able to focus on all sides of the issue as it is much longer and more detailed account of foxes in Britain. While these things are briefly discussed, much more is focused on the hunting. On this occasion, I would have preferred if Lewis-Stempel had focused on the wild life of the fox their nature, habitat etc. However, it is relatively short and focuses a lot on the issue of hunting foxes. It's beautifully produced, with stunning illustrations and gorgeous cover art and design. The Wild Life of the Fox is interesting addition to the natural history of foxes in Britain category. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And when the Guardians defeated the Badoon, the evil Korvac became their main foe.
