A mischievous story book - Fantastic Mr. Fox By Roald Dahl



This 88-page, rupees 970 (LKR) valued book of a mischevious fox's story by Roald Dahl (RD) defines his writing style as a children's literature author.

Like many of his books 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' is a colorful book with fun, jolly and mischief.

I think RD hates humans. And I think it's the war that impacted him. 


Beams, Bunce and Boggis are the antagonists of this small book.

They are like the symbolic reflection of Mr. Winston Churchil, Mr. Joseph Stalin and Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt in my view who drove the 2nd world war against Adolph Hitler of Germany.

Mr. Fox is the protagonist.

A beautiful adventure of survival with a humorous and fairytale-like touch. (Pied Piper of Hamlin)

If you watched the film from 2009 by the same title by Mr. Wes Anderson and read the book as well because there are a lot of differences.

Hope you'll enjoy them because both are great entertainment.


Overall rating - 4/5
