      Roald Dahl wrote a really good story about a male fox. It was fantastic, Can’t remember what it was called though.

      Cornelia Funke’s *Reckless* books have a fox character. More as a supporting role than a protagonist though. She shapeshifts between fox and human.

    3. There was a fox in a witches guide to magical inn keeping, though it is a witch transformed into a fox.

    4. Fox and I: An Uncommon Friendship, Catherine Raven. It’s a memoir, so nonfiction. But it’s good and you might like it. The author works in Yellowstone National Park and lives nearby.

      Jemima Puddleduck by Beatrix Potter has the Foxy Gentleman as a character, if you enjoy children’s literature.

    6. The fox and the hound by Daniel p mannix. Realistic account from a fox’s perspective. Highly recommend it!

      The main characters are dogs hut they cross with a fox and you would likely enjoy it if you enjoy animal fantasy. They’re comical and pretty deep and dangerous at times. Hedge Row Tales wolves of the road is the first
      By Behm.
      But the fox was deemed evil

      The Animals of Farthing Wood series has main character foxes amongst many other animals but deeply traumatic for a children’s book series (don’t get me started on the TV show!)

    9. Axolotl_Impersonator on

      **The Animals of Farthing Wood series by Clive Dunn**.

      It’s about a collection of wild animals, not just foxes, but a fox is the leader of the group and a couple of the sequels focus on his family in particular.

    10. The Boy, The Mole, The Fox, and The Horse by Charles Mackesy is a short, sweet story with beautiful illustration.

      Le Petite Prince is the best book featuring a fox.

    11. If you want children’s fiction there is a whole series Run with the Wind by Tom McCaughren  Irish writer 

    12. I vaguely remember a character from my childhood books called Foxy Loxy.
      Also: there may have been foxes in Aesop’s Fables.
