The Sir Foxley-Fox Tales: Volume 1

- COLLECTION 1 -

At the request of many of his readers, Sir Foxley-Fox has written a book of bedtime stories and poems primarily for ages 8-12, but which also seem to appeal to parents and grandparents.

Including the prologue of his first three books, two of which have already been published, the stories go through the seasons from Hallowe’en to Christmas with stories about Sir Foxley-Fox’s sailing experiences ( Don’t worry, I know exactly what I am doing!?) to an hilarious audience with the Queen and a picture of all his friends in Florida, which should guarantee some extra sales in the USA!

This book is longer than the others but does not have any new illustrations. All the royalties are being given to the St. Michael’s Hospice Charity in Paphos Cyprus, of which Andrew Lauder is the Chairman, so every book you buy will be helping those in need of care in the last few days of their lives.
