About this book
Old Granny Fox by Thornton W. Burgess whisks listeners into the snowbound Green Meadow where an indomitable grandmother and her cheeky grandson must rely on wit, patience, and a few clever tricks to survive a hard winter. Burgess’s classic animal fiction follows Old Granny and Reddy Fox as they hunt for scarce food, outsmart Farmer Brown’s watchful hound Bowser, and navigate close calls and sly schemes across the countryside.
Rich with gentle humor and moral warmth, the story explores themes of family, mentorship, resourcefulness, and the rhythms of nature. Written in the early 20th century, Burgess’s storytelling captures the pastoral charm of classic literature for young readers while offering timeless lessons about cooperation and cunning in the face of hardship. The Green Meadow comes alive through vivid scenes and memorable animal characters that appeal to both children and teen/young adult listeners.
Ideal for fans of animal stories, family audiobooks, and anyone who loves classic children’s fiction, Old Granny Fox is a delightful, comforting listen that entertains while gently teaching resilience and cleverness—perfect for family road trips, bedtime listening, or rediscovering a beloved nature tale.
