'Joyce Stranger brings the smell of the hedgerow and the sharp cry of the fox in the night to her vividly written tale of the wild creatures she loves.' - EVENING NEWS. In this magical tale of the Lakeland Fells, dour farmers who hunt on foot are outwitted and outrun by a vixen and her cubs. Well taught by the vixen, Rufus and Rusty become legends throughout one autumn and winter around Hortonmere. The swiftest hounds, the most determined terriers and the most patient of huntsmen cannot match their speed and guile, and to lonely old Jasper, as he lies snug in his bed on a frosty night, there comes a feeling of contentment as he hears the joyous barks of the pair running free.
