Fantastic Mr Fox
Fantastic Mr Fox is a 1970 children's novel by Roald Dahl about a cunning fox who outwits three cruel farmers to feed his family.
The story was adapted into a 2009 stop-motion animated film directed by Wes Anderson.
The title is sometimes used allusively for someone who escapes trouble through cleverness: He pulled a Fantastic Mr Fox and slipped away before anyone noticed.
