Reynard The Fox by Renate Raecke

Reynard The Fox by Renate Raecke

"Arresting, kinetic artwork by Jonas Laustr er....the Reynard that kindled the medieval imagination was no cuddly stuffed animal. Ms. Raecke sands down the edges of the violence, but she doesn't dull Reynard's wit....Children...growing up with lots of fairy and folk tales will see that Reynard fits right in with these traditions." -Wall Street Journal

"A collection of folktales at their absolute best" (Elizabeth Bird, SLJ.com) about a legendary scoundrel, brought to new life through Renate Raecke's lively retelling and Jonas Laustr er's expressive illustrations.

Reynard the Fox has been a staple trickster character of European literature since at least the Middle Ages. The tales of his schemes have been told many times, and he always manages to win readers' sympathies. Reynard is a rascal, a ne'er-do-well. While we may suffer from his pranks, at the same time we smile at the shrewd thinking through which he escapes hopeless situations. In this expertly retold version, the classic tales of Reynard's exploits find a new life. They speak to us now as much as ever, for who among us doesn't know a Reynard-like figure in our lives?
