I remember my 2nd year in prep school our teacher read this book for us. It was so amazing when I went home I started to draw all these scenarios from what I could remember. I even drew on the walls in my room. Mr Fox was my hero.
I'm very stubborn because, even though Jack and the Beanstalk is one of my favorite stories, I can't accept any version except this one. The artwork has to be this. The cover has to be this. My girlfriend bought me some souped up version and I couldn't read it.
This was one of my favorite books. I remember getting this a CS Lewis box collection with all his books like The Silver Chair, Prince Caspian etc, but The Lion, The Witch... was always my favorite.

Stories by Lady Comtesse de Provence. These books were huge and they didn't have a picture on the cover or any label. Just a giant green hardback book- yet inside were probably the best stories I'd ever read. Sort of a mixture of Poe, Gogol and Aesop.
