“The Story of the Cunning Trickster, Reynard the Fox” is the only prose version of “The Romance of the Fox,” an epoch-making work twenty thousand lines long, which appeared at the end of the 12th and beginning of the 13th centuries. It was written and published by William Caxton, who brought the first printing press to the British Isles, and became one of the first examples of genuine pulp fiction. Five and a half hundred years later, “The History of the Cunning Rogue, Reynard the Fox,” addressed to the reader busy with internecine wars, is no less relevant than in the time of the Scarlet and White Rose. The cunning Fox Reynard is the embodiment of the resourcefulness of medieval lawyers, solicitors, court intriguers and charlatan doctors. For centuries, representatives of these professions learned from the example of Reynard how to find a way out of the most hopeless situation, how to not only get away with it, but also present themselves as a victorious hero, the true savior of the king, a zealot of faith, and a guardian of morality. We recommend this book to modern students as an indispensable guide to mastering the basics of the craft. And besides, despite all his “exploits”, Reynard the Fox is not just “red”, but also the most handsome hero in the entire animal kingdom.
