A book that allows you to enjoy Hyakken Uchida's fantastical story with Yasuki Yanaka's beautiful illustrations. This is a translation of "Reineke Fuchs" by the German poet Goethe, an animal epic that depicts the trial of the cunning fox Reineke and other animals. A cruel fairy tale from the Showa era (*^^*) *Please be aware that it's quite bloody and grotesque, so those who are sensitive to such content should be cautious!* Despite being a children's fairy tale (the original was published in November 1938 by Koyama Shoten as part of the Shonen Shojo Sekai Bunko series), the unexpected ending will leave you indignant. A masterpiece of picaresque romance! Those who enjoy stories with a bad aftertaste will likely enjoy this. Synopsis: In the animal kingdom ruled by King Lion, the fox Reineke, a high-ranking official who commits all sorts of evil deeds, is sued by the wolf, the bear, and others, and put on trial. Features: The fox Reineke behaves without remorse, gaining the king's trust through self-defense built on lies. This is a used item, so there is some wear and tear. Please take a close look at the photos if you are concerned. - Title: The Trial of the Fox - Author: Hyakken Uchida - Illustrations: Yasuki Yanaka Thank you for viewing.
