Flightless, helpless and often, more than a little silly, chickens are no match for the cunning, merciless foxes stalking their coop. Or are they? Thanks to a careless farmer and generations of determined foxes, the chickens on Foxearth Farm have evolved into quick-witted, long-legged, high flying fox dodgers. Then, just a week after a vicious fox ambush in the water trough, three sisters are hatched. And Ransome, Sims and Jefferies are no ordinary chicks: they grow up determined to fight back. They are the legendary Fox Busters . . . From the number one author for animal magic comes this wonderful new edition of a much-loved classic.

Dick King-Smith served in the Grenadier Guards during the Second World War, and afterwards spent twenty years as a farmer in Gloucestershire, the county of his birth. Many of his stories are inspired by his farming experiences. He wrote a great number of children s books, including The Sheep-Pig (winner of the Guardian Award and filmed as Babe), Harry s Mad, The Hodgeheg, Martin s Mice, The Invisible Dog, The Queen s Nose and The Crowstarver.At the British Book Awards in 1991 he was voted Children s Author of the Year. In 2009 he was made OBE for services to children s literature. Dick King-Smith died in 2011 at the age of eighty-eight.
