Drawn to the natural world, she worked as a ranger in national parks, at times living in her run-down car on abandoned construction sites, or camping on a piece of land in Montana she bought from a colleague. She managed to put herself through college and then graduate school, eventually earning a PhD in biology and building a house on her remote plot. Yet she never felt at home with people. Except when teaching, she spoke to no one.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne day, she realised that a wild fox that had been appearing at her house was coming by every day precisely at 4.15. He became a regular visitor, eventually sitting near her as she read to him from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Little Prince\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e or Dr Seuss. Her scientific training had taught her not to anthropomorphise animals, but as she grew to know him, his personality revealed itself - and he became her friend. But friends cannot always save each other from the uncontained forces of nature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThough this is a story of survival, it is also a poignant and dramatic tale of living in the wilderness and coping with inevitable loss. This uplifting, fable-like true story about the friendship between a solitary woman and a wild fox not only reveals the power of friendship and our interconnectedness with the natural world, but is an original, imaginative, and beautiful work that introduces a stunning new voice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scribe Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43391178539144,"sku":"9781922310835","price":32.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/3443\/4440\/files\/fox-and-i-9781922310835-504112.webp?v=1742496986","url":"https:\/\/littlelostbookshop.com.au\/products\/9781922310835-fox-and-i","provider":"The Little Lost Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
