Description

Mr. Fox—and his animal friends, who live near three cruel farmers. Although the farmers continually attempt to kill the animals, Mr. Fox and his friends are able to outsmart them and steal all the food they want. Fantastic Mr. Fox, like many of Dahl’s works, is a story about triumphing over cruel and selfish forces. The novel explores the importance of family and friends as well as the power of intelligence in overcoming strength. It also has an environmentalist message, focusing on the conflict between man and the natural world.
