About this book

Fox: Neighbour, Villain, Icon features the work of three award-winning photographers, Neil Aldridge, Matt Maran and Andy Parkinson, who have been photographing foxes collectively for over 20 years. Now, they are combining their talents to produce the most comprehensive photo book about one of Britain’s best-known predators. Their powerful and sensitive images shed light on the truth about foxes, and seek to dispel many of the myths that malign society’s attitudes towards these enigmatic animals.

Photographer Andy Parkinson says, "I have a genuine passion for foxes. I have worked with them for the last 10 to 15 years, and a huge motivation for me is to show the beauty, show the worth, and show the value of these incredible icons of our countryside". Parkinson’s photographs, together with those by Aldridge and Maran, illustrate the lifecycle of foxes in both rural and urban settings, captured with innovative field craft and camera techniques.

Fox: Neighbour, Villain, Icon also examines the fascinating and contradictory relationship the British have with the fox, told through revealing images of rescue and rehabilitation work, fox hunting with hounds, and those working on the ground to protect them. Says Neil Aldridge, “I love the fact that we have been able to collaborate with a whole series of writers: people who are studying foxes in our towns, or saving them from hunts, or living alongside foxes on our farms and in our countryside. These are real stories from all across the country."The 100-plus images include award-winning photos from Wildlife Photographer of the Year and other major international photo competitions, as well as images which have never been published or shared before.

Among the informative essays written exclusively for Fox: Neighbour, Villain, Icon, are pieces by leading natural history experts and professors, including Dawn Scott and Martin Wallen, as well as farmers and carers who have close relationships with these highly intelligent creatures. Photographer Matt Maran says, “By understanding that our space is also their habitat we can foster greater compassion and respect for foxes”.

Naturalist and broadcaster, Chris Packham, who has written the foreword to the book, comments, “I think a book that celebrates foxes and displays them as they are – very beautiful animals – but also animals that have integrated themselves into the fabric of our society, is a brilliant idea, because the fox is one of those animals, unfortunately, that people still like to demonize".

– Liz Bonnin, science and wildlife broadcaster

"With this fne book I am reminded of the magic of Reynard – my first close camera encounter at age 14 was a life-changing experience. Fox brings it all back again"
