Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Mort Künstler (illustrator). When the four city children came to live with Aunt Tatie in her old mill house, they were fascinated by their new surroundings. For young Piet, country living, and especially the ways of untamed animals in the nearby deep woods, provided delightful discoveries -delightful until that terrible morning when the children came upon the slaughter in the chicken house. Piet resolved to catch the marauder that had nearly ruined their aunt's livelihood. Secretly the children set traps in the forest=and one was sprung! But the trapped fox had miraculously es-caped, leaving evidence of the wounded paw that soon was to earn him the name of Old One-Toe. Thus begins for the boy a life filled with new and extraordinary experiences. Winner of the Prix Enfance du Monde. Grades 5-8.
