A little about the book
Animals and people make quick choices about food, danger or advantage, then find out what those choices cost. Townsend’s collection gives the reader hundreds of short scenes that can be compared across a few minutes of reading.
Try putting two tales about the same animal side by side. The fox can be clever in one encounter and overconfident in another, depending on who gets to set the terms.
