From the publisher

“I wish fairy tales were real,” sighed little Lucy Skunk. Lucy’s wish was all it took for Hector Fox and his merry band of woodland friends to set out on an adventure beyond the friendly Green Wood. They had all heard a roumor of an enormous, shadowy stranger living in the Forbidden Marsh. Was it a fairy-tale giant? The five friends set out on a quest to learn the truth, and with some unexpected help, make a giant discovery. Hector Fox and the Giant Quest is the first in a series of picture books created by Astrid Sheckels, featuring Hector Fox, Lucy Skunk, Mo Marten, Charlie Chipmunk, Jeremiah Rabbit, and some surprise friends. Look for Hector’s next adventure, Hector Fox and the Raven’s Revenge, coming soon.
