Fox Folklore

[kniteracy]

Someone out there must know something about fox folklore in Europe and the British Isles. I have done half a dozen web searches tonight, and most of the references I am coming up with relate to Japanese and Chinese folklore. While I appreciate that there is a lot of very good fox folklore out there from Japan particularly, I'm specifically looking for tales, stories, folklore, little bits of folk knowledge from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, Germany, etc. I'd be curious about American folklore that wasn't specifically related to Native American culture.

It doesn't have to be researched or in a book: if your old granny had a story about foxes you've never heard from anybody else, or your aunty believed something odd about foxes, tell me about it! :)

Glad you like it - I actually thought it was a bit pointless since it doesn't really tell a story, but it's really very old and famous - and there has been a board game based on that (I have my Grandparents' set and always wanted to donate it to some museum...)

And just in case Talis should read this: NO, no sexual innuendo as far as I'm concerned. ;o)
