"The medieval story of the crafty trickster is brought alive in a new translation."

- The Tablet,

James Simpson’s translation of the late-middle-English version restores Reynard as part of a tradition that extends to Animal Farm. With all new illustrations, "Reynard the Fox is the animal fable’s version of Homer’s Odyssey" (Stephen Greenblatt).

Like Seamus Heaney's <em>Beowulf</em>, this new translation of a classic promises to revive one of the greatest characters of medieval literature.
