Speaking of foxes ...

[ish mailian]

The Lost Writings, were discovered in 1984, edited by WJ West and
published in 1985. This review in NYT makes an interesting contrast
with P's reading of Orwell in his Introduction.

The Fox, set on a pig farm,  is thought to be a dog in the henhouse,
but is found out and slaughtered.
