"The Life of a Fox, Written by Himself" by Thomas Smith is a fictional narrative that blends humor and adventure, likely written in the early 19th century. The book tells the story from the unique perspective of a fox, Wily, who recounts his life, experiences evading hunters, and interactions with both fellow foxes and humans. Through his engaging storytelling, Smith explores themes of survival, cunning, and the relationship between foxes and their hunters. At the start of the narrative, Wily introduces himself and invites a group of fellow foxes to share their tales of escape from various hunts. In the opening portion, he describes his early life, from his birth in a breeding earth and learning to hunt under his mother’s guidance, to the dangers he faces from humans and hounds. Wily's encounters include thrilling moments as he outsmarts hunters and their dogs, offering readers a mix of tension and wit. The opening effectively sets the stage for an entertaining exploration of the life of a fox within a world dominated by hunters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
