The story of Reineke Fuchs, who cunningly navigates through all kinds of lies, has fascinated children and adults alike for centuries. Janosch's "Reineke Fuchs" tells this tale in a child-friendly, cheeky manner with unparalleled humor, set in a time when the lion was still king of the world. The lion ruled with gentleness and great justice. In the kingdom of King Nobil, there were no borders and no customs officials, and everywhere there was peace and joy. No one beat each other, and no one stole another's property. Except, of course, for the fox, who was a true scoundrel.
