Although I do tend, from a personal standpoint, to prefer the simplified, Americanized retelling of this specific Reynard story that Willis P. Hazard did in 1861, the same year that this edition was published - as mentioned above, Hazard also produced a 1852 edition that simply reproduced the original text - this version of the story is still enjoyable. At thirty-six pages, it is a brief retelling, and one intended for children. The artwork is engaging, particularly if one enjoys etching/engraving style illustration as I do.
