A fox’s daring contest with three farmers

The conflict is built around a clear standoff: Mr. Fox has been taking food from Boggis, Bunce, and Bean, and the three farmers join forces to surround him and his family. Their pursuit puts the story’s animal hero in a position where escape depends on an ingenious plan. The setup combines comic characterization—the farmers are introduced through their distinctive builds and temperaments—with a direct adventure of pursuit and resourcefulness. This hardcover edition is described as having red interior text and illustrations, alongside deluxe packaging.

Book overview

This collectable hardcover edition will feature a beautiful cover and deluxe packaging, including red interior text and illustrations!

From the bestselling author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG. Someone's been stealing from the three meanest farmers around, and they know the identity of the thief--it's Fantastic Mr. Fox! Working alone they could never catch him; but now fat Boggis, squat Bunce, and skinny Bean have joined forces, and they have Mr. Fox and his family surrounded. What they don't know is that they're not dealing with just any fox--Mr. Fox would rather die than surrender. Only the most fantastic plan can save him now.
