The Fox and The Hound by Daniel P. Mannix
5.0
This is one of my favorite Disney movies, BUT THIS BOOK IS NO DISNEY MOVIE! I didn’t think the story could get sadder, but oh, it can. Get the tissues ready.
Nevertheless, this is a truly spectacular piece of xenofiction. Despite the potential for anthropomorphism, the author automatically thrusts you in the POV of both the fox and the hound. Both of whom have unique personalities and voices as they battle over the years. I did have more of a fondness for Tod’s chapters though.
Overall, did I still love this story and its superb nature prose? Yes. Will I read it again anytime soon? Nope nope nope, I don’t want this hurt again
