A New Edition with coloured plates after H. Alken and Others 4to; 10.25 inches tall; 126 pages illustrated with colored and b/w plates. Publisher's red cloth with stamped titles in gilt and front emblem. Bindings tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. A bit of sun-fading on the spine. No dust Jacket. REF: Baily, 470; Spectator, 700. The Life of a Fox is a rather pretty conception and no more exhaustive account of fox life has ever appeared before or since. Different counties have their distinguishing characteristics which it might have been difficult to include in a single narrative without breaking its continuity Mr Smith therefore drawing upon his experience of several countries summoned representatives from each and made each fox tell his own tale giving pride of place to one from his county. [Baily].
