Cinnabar, One O'Clock Fox - Marguerite Henry Animal Story

Cinnabar is a fox. He lives in a den with his family: Vicky and four little cubs. He's a hardworking fox that does everything he can to ensure that his family has what they need. So when foxhunting season comes around, he wants to have a little fun. When he hears the hunting horn, he decides to accept the huntsmen's "invitation." Every hunt day, promptly at one o'clock, Cinnabar shows up and runs until nightfall. Can the huntsmen ever catch this clever fox?

Based on an old legend about foxhunting in the area around Mount Vernon, Cinnabar pits one very wily fox against George Washington himself. The result is a wild chase for all.
