One quiet November night in Lincoln, two unexpected friends went for a walk. A fox and an otter, caught on CCTV in the early hours, wandering the streets together... a little bit of magic. From that moment came this story. The Fox & The Otter is a gentle, illustrated tale about unlikely friendship, quiet bravery and not walking alone. Inspired by real events, it's a story for children, grown-ups and anyone who believes that the smallest things can have the biggest impact. A percentage of profits from this book is donated to the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, helping protect the real foxes, otters and wild wanderers that inspired this story.
