A special and unusual relationship began when Cherie Mason helped an injured fox that came into her yard one winter morning. Crippled by a steel-jawed trap, the young fox had every reason to mistrust all humans, yet he was won over by Cherie's persistent gentleness (and tidbits from her kitchen). Suffused with a gentle sense of wonder, Wild Fox speaks with great resonance to a deep and very human impulse: the longing to span the gulf between the species.
