Summary

This is the tale of Reynard the Fox.

May God guide us on our journey!

What I am about to tell you is an unusual, but entirely believable story about a wild animal, and it may serve as an instructive fable in a great many ways. The animal in question was entirely focused upon deceit and trickery, which often led him into trouble. He indulged in all kinds of wickedness, and his name was Reynard the Fox. So let us begin the story.
