Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 I had bought this land three years earlier. I had been living up valley, renting a cabin that the owner had winterized, in the sense that if I wore a down parka and mukluks to bed, I wouldn’t succumb to frostbite overnight.
#2 The fox was a year old, and he had already trespassed several times to visit the house with the shiny blue roof. He planned to avoid his mother’s territory and visit the house instead.
#3 The author had a conversation with Fox, and then looked at him in silence for fifteen seconds. The fifteen-second pause simulated his turn to speak. He had almost reached his average sitting time of eighteen minutes.
#4 The unboxed fox and I were still reading when the landline interrupted. I tried ignoring it, but I didn’t own an answering machine and my caller had limitless patience. After listening to about a dozen rings, I went inside and picked up the downstairs phone, leaving the door open so I could keep an eye on Fox.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

I had bought this land three years earlier. I had been living up valley, renting a cabin that the owner had winterized, in the sense that if I wore a down parka and mukluks to bed, I wouldn’t succumb to frostbite overnight.

#2

The fox was a year old, and he had already trespassed several times to visit the house with the shiny blue roof. He planned to avoid his mother’s territory and visit the house instead.

#3

The author had a conversation with Fox, and then looked at him in silence for fifteen seconds. The fifteen-second pause simulated his turn to speak. He had almost reached his average sitting time of eighteen minutes.

#4

The unboxed fox and I were still reading when the landline interrupted. I tried ignoring it, but I didn’t own an answering machine and my caller had limitless patience. After listening to about a dozen rings, I went inside and picked up the downstairs phone, leaving the door open so I could keep an eye on Fox.

#5

I had created a relationship with Fox by carefully navigating a series of events that had brought us together. I had decided to ditch him, but I didn’t know how. I thought about how to lose the fox.

#6

When you want to get along with a fox, you can’t anthropomorphize him. That means imagining that he has human qualities, and it’s very uncool. You also can’t cross the gorge between humans and wild, unboxed animals, because it’s too dangerous.

#7

The author had a fear of not being home when the fox came visiting. He was an uninvited guest, and he couldn’t keep the fox waiting. The author had to greet the fox punctually to minimize the discomfort inherent in his ambiguous status.

#8

I left The Little Prince and an iced tea next to my camp chair, and went looking for Fox. I spotted him trotting back from the river, following a trail that swung below my cottage. He could have either stayed the course and avoided me altogether or broken trail and marched uphill to meet me at the rendezvous site.

#9

I was reading to Fox when there were fifty million copies of The Little Prince in circulation. The book’s author, Antoine Saint-Exupéry, had written the international bestselling novella Night Flight, winner of the Prix Femina, and Wind, Sand and Stars, a memoir that the National Geographic Society considered the world’s third best adventure book.

#10

Saint-Ex, a French war hero and fearless explorer of the Sahara, had imaginary friends. He wrote a book in which he vets potential companions by showing them a child’s drawing, a beast in situ, and asking them to identify it. Everyone quickly and confidently identifies the beast as a hat.

#11

I showed slides and told stories about wildlife, starting with the three species we could see from the cabins: pronghorn antelope, Rocky Mountain elk, and bison. I explained that elk are mammals, and that the gender responsible for child-rearing lives longest.

#12

I was not The Leonardo, but I did like to know what normal people were up to. I told Jenna a little about the fox, the slides I took of him, and the Foxie comment. She suggested I explain my relationship with Fox to the class.

#13

I had a difficult time explaining my relationship with Fox to others. I knew I could not keep it a secret, and I knew I had no idea how to explain it. I decided to start at the beginning and imagine when Fox and I first became more than just two itinerant animals crossing each other’s paths.
