The Tattoo Fox

About the Book: 

The fox’s friends all gather round
To watch the greatest show in town.

After discovering Edinburgh’s Military Tattoo and setting up her home by Edinburgh Castle, the Tattoo Fox returns to her adventures around Edinburgh. Meeting and making lots of new friends along the way (including the Queen!), the Tattoo Fox invites them all to her party.

This heart-warming tale was inspired by a real-life encounter between the Producer of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo and a fox, late one night on the Castle Esplanade.
