The Fox and the Cat: Animal Tales from Grimm - 1985

Created from a 1985 former library printing of The Fox and the Cat, this one-of-a-kind journal preserves classic Grimm storytelling paired with Susan Varley’s gentle illustrations of woodland animals and quiet countryside scenes. All original book pages remain throughout the journal, allowing familiar fables and whimsical artwork to peek through between blank writing pages, with the story’s school-library history adding a charming sense of shared readership and time passed.

The playful animal tales and traditional folklore tone create a wonderful space for imaginative writing, sketching, or personal reflection. This journal invites both children and grown storytellers to explore creativity, record observations, or retell their own small fables inspired by the clever fox and steadfast cat.

Each journal is hand-bound with a bronze metal coil and finished with smooth, acid-free writing paper. Because every book is individually transformed from its original form, no two journals are ever exactly alike, making this a truly unique keepsake with literary character and gentle vintage soul.
