Fantastic Mr. Fox

PUBLISHER: George Allen & Unwin

AUTHOR: Roald Dahl

ISBN: 9889877890202

Mr. Fox is a clever fox who steals chickens, ducks, and turkeys every night from three neighboring farmers—the fat Farmer Boggis, the short Farmer Bunce, and the lean Farmer Bean.
Tired of being outsmarted, the farmers hatch a plan to kill Mr. Fox. They ambush him outside his home, shooting off his tail as he narrowly escapes.
When shovels fail to unearth the fox family, the three farmers use mechanical shovels to dig up the entire hill, destroying the animals’ homes.
The foxes dig deeper to evade the farmers, but they become trapped and begin to starve.
In his moment of desperation, Mr. Fox devises a “fantastic” plan. He leads his children in a tunnel-digging expedition that goes deep underground, safely past the farmers, and directly into the farmers’ food stores.
He steals chickens from Boggis’ farm, ducks and geese from Bunce’s farm, and finally, uses his intelligence to raid Bean’s secret cider cellar.
Along the way, Mr. Fox and his family are joined by other burrowing animals, including Badger, who are also starving and displaced by the farmers’ destruction.
The animals gather for a magnificent feast in their new underground home. Mr. Fox invites all of his friends and family to stay there permanently, safe from the farmers.
The story ends with the mean-spirited farmers still waiting outside the foxhole for Mr. Fox to emerge, completely unaware that they are being robbed from below.
