Part of a series of captivating picture books, each based on a songtale from the American folk music tradition, this story has roots dating back to England 500 years ago, and the song has been recorded by Peter, Paul, and Mary, Harry Belafonte, Pete Seeger, and many more. Beautiful illustrations evoke a wily fox as he roams a sleepy New England town in search of a meal for his family, with tones and textures that are so vivid you can almost hear the rustle of leaves and see the shimmer of moonlight. Includes a description of the history of the song, the notation of the song, and a link to a free MP3 download of the song.
