George Washington meets his match in a wily fox in this legendary tale from Newbery Award-winning author Marguerite Henry, now available in a collectible hardcover gift edition.

Cinnabar is a fox. He lives in a den with his family, Vicky and four little cubs. He's a hardworking fox who does everything he can to ensure that his family has what they need.
