In this expertly retold version, the classic tales of Reynard's exploits find a new life. They speak to us now as much as ever, for who among us doesn't know a Reynard-like figure in our lives?

Download or read book Reynard the Fox written by Kenneth Varty and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book describes an extraordinary and exciting fox-hunt - a search for medieval carvings and drawings of the fox in churches, museums, and libraries throughout England. Dr. Varty's main purpose is to show that, despite the paucity of literary evidence, Reynard the Fox was indeed well-known in medieval England. The author and his helpers, forming, as he says, 'an unusual pack of hounds,' managed to flush from cover an impressively large number of foxes in widely scattered parts of the country - foxes in wood or stone carvings, in stained and painted glass, and in murals and miniatures. So closely and clearly related are these foxes to those in contemporary continental literature that they abundantly sustain Dr. Varty's thesis." -- Book jacket.
