Illustrated by
Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen.
A young fox is caught in a trap and nursed back to health by a woman who eventually releases her back into her natural wild habitat. The story is touching and inherently interesting, but the adult voice gives it a sentimental tone. Realistic art accompanies the text.
