The Tale Of Hawthorn House (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Reynard V. Vulpes, he was being pursued across the fells by a pair of enthusiastic fox-hound pups. Of course, they couldn’t catch him, but like good fox-hounds, they were always up for the game—as was Reynard, who liked nothing better than leading the pack on a merry chase through the fields. And where was he now, this fugitive fox? He had taken an extended holiday in the remote fells, as far away as Sea Fell and Dunmail Raise and Loughrigg— names almost as wild and glorious as the mountains themselves. His days and nights had been enlivened with sportive adventures, mostly involving unsuspecting lambs and wayward voles and naive rabbits. And vixens, too, generous, seductive creatures with amber eyes and red-gold fur as soft as silk. But even with all the distractions of holiday travel in exotic places, he couldn’t get Jemima out of his mind. He’d somehow got . . . well, rather fond of the duck. She was so sweetly innocent, so wide-eyed with wonder at the various little offerings he placed before her, so grateful for his attentions.
