First published in 1897, "e;The History of Reynard the Fox"e; is a collection of poems by Frederick Startridge Ellis. The poems concern Reynard, an anthropomorphic red fox and trickster who is traditionally the main character in a literary cycle of allegorical Dutch, English, French and German fables. Frederick Startridge Ellis (1830-1901) was an English bookseller and author. Contents include: "e;How the Lion, King Nobel, sent out his mandement that all beasts should come to his Court"e;, "e;The first complaint, made by Isegrym the Wolf against Reynard"e;, "e;The complaint of Courtoys the Hound"e;, "e;How Grymbert the Dachs, Reynard's sister's son, spake up for him"e;, "e;How Chanticlere complained on Reynard"e;, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork by Walter Crane.
