Reynard the Fox: An Early Apologue of Renown, Clad in An English Dress, Fashioned According to the German Model Supplied by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781171756163)

"Reynard the Fox" is a timeless allegory presented in English verse, fashioned after Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's German adaptation of the classic folktale. This edition, published in 1899, revives the cunning and adventures of Reynard, the anthropomorphic fox, as he navigates the medieval world with his wit and guile. Through satirical episodes, the poem explores themes of social hierarchy, morality, and the eternal struggle between the powerful and the powerless.

John Storer Cobb's English rendition captures the spirit of the original tales, offering readers a glimpse into a rich literary tradition. This version preserves the charm and moral complexity that have made Reynard a beloved figure for centuries. A captivating read for those interested in classic literature, animal fables, and the enduring power of storytelling.
