Clare, a young girl who has spent her entire life on a farm, has never encountered a fox until she comes across a small, injured cub that has lost its mother. Despite her initial hesitation, Clare takes it upon herself to care for the cub, nurturing him back to health. However, she faces a challenging task as she must keep her beloved pet hidden from her father, who views foxes as nothing more than vermin, pests that deserve to be shot.

As Clare cares for the cub, she forms a deep bond with him and becomes determined to protect him at all costs. She spends countless hours tending to his wounds, providing him with food and shelter, and even creating a makeshift den for him to rest in. However, her father's disapproval and his attempts to hunt down the fox create a sense of tension and fear within Clare.

Despite the obstacles she faces, Clare remains steadfast in her commitment to the cub. She knows that he is innocent and deserves a chance to live a fulfilling life. With the help of her friends and family, Clare devises a plan to keep the cub safe and away from her father's reach. She hides him in a secret location on the farm, where he can thrive and grow strong.

Over time, Clare's love and care for the cub bring him back to health. He becomes a playful and curious creature, exploring his new surroundings and making friends with the other animals on the farm. Clare is overjoyed to see him thrive, but she also knows that she must continue to be vigilant and protect him from harm.

In the end, Clare's determination and love for the cub save him from harm. Her father learns to see foxes in a new light and recognizes the value of protecting all creatures, big and small. Clare's story is a testament to the power of compassion and the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity.

This beautifully crafted story, originally written for a younger audience, has been reimagined in a lower-reading age edition with stunning cover artwork by Catherine Rayner. It is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the ability of words to touch the hearts of readers of all ages.
