Description

Old Granny Fox is a story about an aging fox who has to rely on her cunning and intelligence to survive in the forest. Even though she is old, she is still able to outsmart other animals in the forest. This story teaches children that even older animals can be very resourceful and dangerous.

Author

Thornton W. Burgess (1874–1965) was a Massachusetts conservationist who taught children the woods through talking animals. Old Granny Fox, the Burgess Bird Book for Children, and the Animal Book made field knowledge feel like a neighbour's story. He wrote a daily newspaper column for decades and kept a sanctuary in his name. The tone is kindly, exact about habits, and still a door into the meadow.
