This is a chilling story with appropriately eerie illustrations. Shane opens the door of Grandfather's forbidden cupboard to find a fox fur from an animal shot by his Grandfather many years before. By feeding the fur with lemons from a tree above the fox's grave, Shane brings the animal slowly back to life. But it is the lemons from the tree over his Grandfather's grave which give the fox its final gift, sight.... A macabre twist in a compelling tale.
