Imagine if Dr. Seuss penned a tale of revolution, or if the creatures of Animal Farm questioned their world in verse.
In a forest where every creature knows its place, Fox awakens to a dangerous question: Why? He sees the threads in the Curtain of stories told by the wise Owl, tastes the emptiness of the Sweet-Mill's treats, and feels the sting of the Gold-Leaf that buys nothing. With his student, Kit, he begins a quiet quest for a truth that could unravel their entire world.
This is not a simple children's story. It is a lyrical and piercing political allegory wrapped in the guise of a bedtime fable. Through rhythmic verse and unforgettable animal archetypes, it explores the systems that shape us. How the powerful control through story, debt, surveillance, and polished lies and the flicker of curiosity that can ignite a flame.
Perfect for readers who enjoy: thought-provoking allegories, unique literary fiction, political satire, and stories that challenge the narrative.
