FOX & SONS - Makers of the Finest Traditional Tails for All Animals and Every Occasion!
Rory’s dad, Fox, is a tailer. The BEST in the business! Animals come from all over to have their tails made by him. Rory helps his dad in the shop and one of his jobs is measuring the customers for the tails - which isn't always easy!
But Rory is bored of making the same old tails. He has his own amazing ideas ...
‘A beautiful story with a heart-warming ending ... and with foxes! I love it.’ - Chris Haughton
"
The fox gets a poor deal in stories. The scourge of every henhouse, not even gingerbread men are safe from his jaws, and the ‘sly’ creature forever doomed to take the bad-guy role in almost every fable and fairytale. Even though we may admire his intelligence, a vulpine character can never be trusted, for fear his cunning will be turned to nefarious purpose. It is delightful, therefore, to step through the doors of Fox&Son, ‘Makers of the Finest Traditional Tails’, into an elegant world of top hats and tweeds. It is, indeed, a tale of tails, and what fine bushy tails they are too. Young Rory’s father, whose name, by some strange quirk of fate, is Fox, is a tailer, like his father and grandfather before him. Animals arrive from far and wide to have their measurements taken and speciality tails of all shapes and sizes created to their own specifications. … Rory, however, is bored of helping his father to make the same old tails, day in, day out. He longs to put his designs for fancy, feathery, flamboyant fashions into practice but Fox is not impressed with such “silly things”. Despite his father’s conservatism, Rory sneaks into the workshop when everyone is asleep and continues to let his imagination run wild, creating “wacky ideas” for colourful tails designed to showcase the wearer’s individuality. The determination to overcome the scepticism of others and follow his dreams pays dividends for Rory in this uplifting celebration of originality, beautifully presented in vibrant hues by Antrim-born author-illustrator Paddy Donnelly
