I enjoyed Odette Larrieu's The Story of Reynard the Fox a great deal, finding her prose humorous and quite entertaining. It is only the second Reynard telling I have read, after Rachel Anderson's Renard the Fox, that is based upon the French tradition, rather than the Dutch or German, which are far more common in English language translations and adaptations. The story here is far more episodic, rather than sequential in narrative as it is in the Dutch and German-inspired versions, and some of the incidents do not seem to appear at all in the those country's tellings. Another key difference, it would seem, between the French Reynard tradition, and those of other European ones, is that in Le Roman de Renard the fox is sometimes the one who is beaten, such as in the episode where Tybert the cat makes off with the sausage, eating it gloatingly in Reynard's face. This definitely isn't an incident I have seen (except for the aforementioned Anderson) in any of the books reviewed for my research into three centuries of Reynard retellings for children in the Anglophone world - the topic of my masters dissertation. All in all, a pleasing little volume, one I would recommend to all Reynard lovers, particularly those looking for a children's retelling of Le Roman de Renard. ( )
