The Tale of Mr. Tod

By Beatrix Potter

A kidnapping leads to a showdown between a fox and a badger in this exciting adventure from the beloved author of The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
 
The Tale of Mr. Tod is Beatrix Potter’s longest work and tells the tale of a badger and his enemy, a fox named Mr. Tod. Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny must save the day in this endearing story.

“The darkest of all her tales. Set in a brooding Cumberland landscape of crags, empty dwellings, and moonlit woodland, the characters, menacing atmosphere and plot of Mr. Tod have all the hallmarks of classic crime fiction—approaching, indeed, something much greater.” —Slightly Foxed

Reviews for The Tale of Mr. Tod

this one reads like a cannibal killer horror tale!

Tommy Brock (a badger) has stolen Benjamin Bunny's babies and intends to eat them! Shocking premise for a children's tale, not to mention elder abuse. Nature is not always pretty, and Ms. Potter was tired of writing only the pretty stuff. As always, her mingling of human traits and animal characteristics is masterfully done so that you learn much of animal behaviour without feeling that you are being taught.

Children's fiction. Just for fun, and because I said I'd list all the books I read. This book had been read to me (probably many times) before this year (2001).
