Summary:
In this reteling of a Nankichi Niimi's Japanese folktale masterpiece, delicate watercolors bring to life the mishievous yet kindhearted spirit of
Gon
, the
Little
Fox
. As the story begins,
Gon
is relishing his life as a roving and rascally
fox
. Each day brings a new opportunity for him to stir up trouble for the nearby village. On any day, he might be found digging up yams or setting fire to rapeseed husks. One day, however,
Gon
feels remorse for having killed an eel that was meant for a poor villager's dying mother. This rare moment of conscience takes
Gon
down a path that ultimately leads to his fate. The story of
Gon
is bittersweet, so proceed with caution, as the
little
fox
is sure to win over your heart.
