The Fox Without the Crow

Pascale Petit & Gérard DuBois

The famous parable of the fox and the crow was first told by Aesop, then by Fedro and then again by Jean de la Fontaine.
In her exhilarating new version, Pascale Petit experiments both with the language, creating refined and daring wordplay, but also with the characters: the narcissistic, ridiculed crow has disappeared. And the fox, who cannot get over this fact, embarks on an adventurous and turbulent search for his story companion…and a bit of something to eat.
He will meet an elephant, a turtle, an ant and even an opossum, but no one is like the crow!

Gérard Dubois’ playful illustrations accompany and enhance this funny comedy of this tale with elegance and a retro touch.
