| Summary | "Lives of the Fur Folk" by Maud D. Haviland is a collection of animal stories written in the early 20th century. The book portrays the lives and adventures of various wild creatures, particularly focusing on a fox named Redpad and his experiences in Knockdane Woods. With elements of anthropomorphism, it explores themes of instinct, survival, and moral lessons through the interactions of these animals and their environment. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Vix, a mother fox, who cares for her cubs in a secluded drain as spring rains flood her den. The opening chapters depict vivid scenes of nature and establish the instincts and challenges faced by the animals in the wild. As Vix strives to protect her cubs from danger, we follow the gradual growth of Redpad, who later encounters hunters and other threats. The opening effectively sets the tone for the storytelling, blending natural history with charming fantasy while evoking empathy for the protagonists of the animal kingdom.
