The Adventures of an Urban Fox: Maggie Arrives

Maggie Arrives is a book for kids that tells the charming tales of an urban fox and two domestic felines, with beautiful and classic illustrations that bring all the animals alive. Come and meet our enchanting characters!

Maggie is a magnificent red fox who lives in London, England. When our intrepid fox first visits the garden at the back of a terraced house looking for food, she decides to venture further, winding up inside the house. In the living room, she comes upon the Black Cat and the Tabby Cat, the two resident mogs who give her a rather unwelcome reception.

Undaunted, Maggie keeps returning to the garden and the house and each time she has to contend with the two mogs. The Black Cat is always ready to chase after her, but the Tabby Cat quite likes the idea of having the fox around, although he can€t bring himself to admit as much to his moggy chum.

Things begin to change when Maggie suggests that they all share the garden and after a bout of sickness turns the Black Cat and the Tabby Cat into her unlikely helpers.
