I'm not your Friend
Kim Lewis
At sunset, after a playful romp in the fields, an understanding mother fox converses with her recalcitrant cub while his resolve - 'I'm not going to be your friend ever again' - slowly dissipates as night, with its shadows and strange shapes, begins to envelop him and he comes around to the idea of reconciliation. A deeply reassuring, multi-layered story told in finely crafted, tension-building prose and wonderfully lyrical, atmospheric pictures of the fauna and flora of a rural landscape.
