Reddy & Swiftfoot Fox and the Henyard Heist With 40 Original 1933 Illustrations by Harrison Cady

Reddy & Swiftfoot Fox can't find enough to eat after an unusually harsh winter storm. Can they steal hens from farms? They'll have to brave terrible guns, a smart hound, and cruel traps! Thornton W. Burgess was one of the most popular and loved children's authors of his time. This story about Reddy Fox and his mate Swiftfoot-also known to Burgess fans as Mrs. Reddy-was originally syndicated in newspapers January 10 through March 1, 1933. It was never published again until now, in this volume. The only other way to read this story is to find Burgess' column in each of the forty-two 1933 newspapers in which a chapter appeared.Though Burgess wrote for children, he was as widely read and loved by adults. This story is among his best.
