Jane King shares story of ‘A FOX IN THE FAMILY’
(PRWEB) September 11, 2014 -- ORLAND, Calif. – Thick woods surrounded the Indiana home of author Jane King and her husband Jim, and woodland creatures often found their way into their house. Their home was a sanctuary, convalescent hospital and sadly, sometimes, a burial ground for the local wildlife. Neighbors, friends, and would-be friends knew where to take orphaned birds and stray cats. The tally of the animals in their household fluctuated with the seasons. Besides several horses, dogs, and cats, they often had quail, Chukar, turtles, frogs, mice, and various small birds residing with them. Soon, two gray fox cub joined the list.
“A FOX IN THE FAMILY” (published by Xlibris) tells the story of Frisky and Friendly. Rescue d from an old barn that is being demolished, two gray fox cubs are captured and raised in a family with terriers, and a cat. As the cubs mature, the King family experiences many heartwarming and hair-raising moments that are illustrated in pen and ink.
“When you raise a wild animal in the house, there are many risks and it is difficult to return them to the wild when they are so tame,” says the author. An exhilarating story that the King family has experienced, this book will capture readers hearts.
