The Man and the Fox

Ingenuity and perseverance are central themes as a young fox cleverly escapes a trap set by a man. This inspiring tale encourages children to confront challenges and turn obstacles into opportunities for problem-solving. Adapted by Idries Shah from Sufi traditions, it draws on a rich history of storytelling from Central Asia and the Middle East. Accompanied by Sally Mallam's imaginative illustrations, the story not only entertains but also fosters critical thinking and self-examination among young readers.
