Bookfox (vulpes libris), a small bibliovorous mammal of overactive imagination and uncommonly large bookshop expenses. Bookfoxes live in a wide variety of habitats, and usually find something to read in the unlikeliest places. They tend to hunt alone but often gather in packs to discuss their prey.

On Vulpes this Week (from 12th May)

No overarching theme this week, but a slight art bias with two books about artists - plus a passionate rant about romance, a recently discovered wartime classic and a bit of Mayakovskian Russian poetry thrown in.
Hope you join us and feel free to join in with your comments.
Monday An arty book from Jackie with Sue Roe's "The Private Lives of the The Impressionists".
Tuesday The next instalment of Kirsty's Russian series with the poetry of Mayakovsky. Please note that this series runs fortnightly: every second Tues.
Wednesday Mary looks at the famously recently discovered WW2 French novel "Suite Francaise" by Irene Nemirovsky, which was taken into hiding with her daughter as a child during the war and eventually published 62 years after the author's death in a concentration camp.
Thursday It's the turn of the Chair of the Romantic Novelists' Association Catherine Jones (a.k.a. Romance writer Kate Lace) to get on that soapbox with a thoroughly entertaining rant about discrimination against romantic novelists.
Friday More art and a popular one amongst the dog-lovers of Vulpes, Moira goes all gooey over our canine cousins with a look at the life and work of sporting artist Cecil Aldin.
AND DON'T FORGET OUR SPECIAL OFFER: Exclusive £2.50 discount on online orders for Call of the Wild or any of their other publications.
