More comfortable in nature than among people, she worked as a National Park ranger, eventually earning a PhD in biology. She built a house on an isolated plot of land in Montana, teaching remotely and leading field classes. One day, she realized that the mangy-looking fox who had been appearing on her property was now showing up every day at 4:15 p.m. She had never had a regular visitor before. How do you even talk to a fox? So, she brought out her camping chair, sat as close to him as she dared, and began reading to him from \u003ci\u003eThe Little Prince\u003c\/i\u003e. Her scientific training had taught her not to anthropomorphize animals, but as she grew to know him, his personality revealed itself—and he became her friend.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBut friends cannot always save each other from the uncontained forces of nature. \u003ci\u003eFox and I\u003c\/i\u003e is a poignant and dramatic tale of friendship, transformation, and coping with inevitable loss—and of how that loss can become meaningful. It is also the introduction of an original, imaginative, stunning literary voice.\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Catherine Raven","offers":[{"title":"Penguin Canada |  Hardback  |  2021-07-06","offer_id":44151183573247,"sku":"9780735243293","price":34.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_da1f9888-5ab7-4112-915d-78b43fbe03bc.jpg?v=1732132090","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9780735243293","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
