Welcome to my page on Kitsune found in books and comics. I've decided that dividing them up by general age group is the easiest to browse through. If you have you know of any books I should add here or have any further information to add to the ones I have, please let me know! The majority of the books are easily found at Borders, Barnes and Noble, or a local retailer for a reasonable price (or they can at least order them for you) and most should be available in either hardcover or paperback (I usually try to list the paperback if I can because that's what I like to get.) Some of them are out of print and you may actually have to check dealers such as Alibris and Harvest that carry books like that. A couple of the books I list are very rare and do have a fairly hefty price. 
Note that there are also many books out there that feature "Fox" in the title but have nothing to do with foxes (its more metaphorical)- I've decided to list only books that actually have foxes as a character or information directly relating to them. While I havn't had the chance to read all of these books, much less own them, these were the ones that stood out to me in my searches. The cover scans I've made myself unless otherwise noted, I like to do my own when I have the book ^_^.

32 pages; illustrated
ISBN #006443480X
  This is a really cute books I happened upon while searching for other things, although I havn't gotten to flip through it yet. Here's what the publisher said: "Four famished foxes make fun of their brother Fosdyke, who feels fondly for fried figs, fennel, and French bread. Leaving him behind to fry and flambé, they go foraging for fowl in a forbidden farmyard. Unfortunately, the foxes find the fowl forwarned. Foiled, they return to their den. Will they ever filch a fabulous farmyard feast? Or will they forgo fowl and finally admit that "a fox is a fox whatever the food"?"

Currently out of print; easy to find
  This is the story of a girl named Akoya. One night she feeds a hungry fox dressed as a samurai against her parent's warning. In return the fox gives her a kettle, saying if she cares for it and polishes it when the rice is ready to harvest, rice will always be plentiful and foxes will help tend the fields. This is quite successful until one day when Akoya is summoned to be married to a wealthy landowner. She is forced to leave the kettle behind and the rice crops went bad soon after. The kettle then disappears and she must find a way to regain the fox's favor as well as return home from her landowner husband. This is a very typical tale of an agreement between foxes and men and what happens if it is not honored. Nice illustrations throughout the book.

Fox in Socks- Dr. Seuss; Random House 1976

ISBN #0394800389
  Dr. Seuss is just fun. All his books are full of fun rhymes and if you didn't read this one as a kid you really missed out. I just had to include it because its such a classic although it doesn't deal that much with fox tales. 

The Ghost Fox- Laurence Yep, illus. Jean and Mou-sien Tseng; Scholastic 1994
Cover Scan (hardcover)
70 pages; illustrated
ISBN #0-590-47204-6
  A nice traditional style Chinese story of Little Lee, a nine-year-old boy whose mother is possessed by a fox after he offends a man on the street. Nice story with vivid descriptions. Divided into 12 short chapters, and has a lot of nice traditional-style black and white illustrations throughout.

A Search for Meaning: the Story of Rex- Michel Gagne; Gagne International Press 1998
Cover Scan (hardcover; its actually a bit taller but it didn't fit on my scanner)
32 pages; illustrated
ISBN #0966640403
  This is a cute little story about a fox's search for meaning. I love the illustrations, they're simple yet really nice. And the little fox is just so adorable! There isn't much text to the story so you can just kinda slowly look at each page before you go on. The story is basically about the search for meaning in life. Each page talks about and illustrates a place the fox looks, from mountains to the sea to very bizarre lands and chaos. The author has done several other books (not related to this one) which I'm looking into. If you have any trouble finding it you can order it directly from the publisher.

This is a neat story with beautiful watercolor pictures throughout.

Chrome Circle: SERRAted Edges Series vol. 4- Mercedes Lackey, Larry Dixon; Penguin Mass Market Paperback 1994
No Cover Scan right now
362 pages
ISBN #0671876155
  This was a book pointed out to me by a kindly kitsune fan by e-mail. I've never heard of it before nor seen it yet, but I'll look for a copy next time I get a chance. This is the info I found on it at Barnes and Noble.com:
"Fourth in the red-hot SERRAted Edge series. There are mages out there . . . and some of them are kind of cute--like Tannim, a young human mage with a taste for hot Celtic rock, fast cars and dangerous women. Now he thinks he's found Ms. Right, but there are some small problems: Her father is a dragon; she's not human, though she's definitely a fox; and she wants to kill him!"

The Fabulous Fox: An Anthology of Fact and Fiction- Johanna Johnson; ?? 1979
Cover Scan (paperback, some cover scuffing)
90 pages; illustrated with drawings and photos
ISBN #0-396-07652-1
  A really neat little book compiling both stories and facts on foxes, and on their relationship with people. Covers some information on different kinds of foxes, and a little bit about their insuitabililty as pets as opposed to dogs. Also includes some classic lore from a sampling of cultures. A very broad and varied approach to foxes, makes for an interesting read, although it doesn't go very far in depth on anything.  

Fantastic Mr. Fox- Roald Dahl, illus. Quentin Blake; Penguin Putnam Books for Young Readers 1998

81 pages
ISBN #0141301139
  While I love most of Dahl's books, I havn't actually read this one in particular. It seems quite good though! This is what I found about it: "Fantastic Mr. Fox is on the run! The three meanest farmers around are out to get him. Fat Boggis, squat Bunce, and skinny Bean have joined forces, and they have Mr. Fox and his family surrounded. What they don’t know is that they’re not dealing with just any fox–Mr. Fox would never surrender. But only the most fantastic plan ever can save him now."

ISBN #0-8052-0717-1
  A large collection of worldwide fables about various animals, divided into chapters based on theme.

As the title implies, there are also a lot of wolf/dog stories, but there are other animals as well. There are some nice black and white pictures at the chapter divisions.

Japanese Tales- e.b. Royall Tyler (Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library); Pantheon 1987
Cover scan (softcover)
340 pages
ISBN #0-394-52190-0
   I included this because I own it, but there are many other fox stories to be found in collections of Japanese folklore. This book divided tales into different subjects, with two small sections of fox tales, including the stories- Enough is Enough!, The Loving Fox, Touched in the Head, Yam Soup, The Eviction, Fox Arson, The Fox's Ball, Singed Fur, Not Really a Tree at All, and The White Fox: Four Dreams. This book has many other good tales and highly recommend it if you're interested in reading Japanese tales, it has a good sampling of every type.

Shadow of the Fox- Ellen Stiber; Random House Books for Young Readers 1994

Currently out of print
  I know little about this book, I don't own it and I found it while doing a search. Its more for younger readers but still sounds like it has an interesting story. Here's what the site said- "When a mysterious young woman named Mariko saves the life of the samurai Shiro, he falls in love and marries her, only to discover that his wife assumes the shape of a fox at night."

Spirit Fox- Mickey Zucker Reichert and Jennifer Wingert; Daw Fantasy 1998
No Cover Scan right now
386 pages
ISBN #0-88677-807-7
   This story is much more like a typical fantasy novel with a more European/medieval setting. The basic premise is that some people are linked to an animal that is born at the same time they are. The main character, Kiarda, is linked to a fox but it dies during its birth so the spirit instead inhabits her body. She spends a lot of time denying or trying to hide her nature when she first starts turning into a fox (it seems to have a similar result to lycanthropy.) An okay read- although the concept was interesting I wasn't nuts about the book but its worth it if you like to read variants of fox tales since there aren't many out there.

Voyage of the Fox Rider- Dennis L. McKiernan; Penguin Mass Market Paperback 1994

ISBN #0451454111
  This seems to be a story about a tiny woman who rides a fox and goes out in search of her missing mate. Part of several books set in the author's fantasy world. Here's what the publisher said: "This magnificent fantasy takes readers back through the millennia to the First Age of Mithgar. Two creatures embark on a quest to find their missing friend--a quest that will set them roaming the world on a fabled ship and pit them against a master of evil bent on opening a pathway of power to Mithgar."

The Fox Woman- Kij Johnson; Tor 2000
Cover scan (softcover; art by S. Boulet, one of my favorite artists!)
382 pages
ISBN #0-312-85429-2
  This is a story written in a modern way but for the most part is a folktale set in ancient Japan about a small fox family. The main character is a fox who longs for a man who moved into a house near her family's den. Incorporates many traditional notions of fox personality and powers with a character depth not usually explored in folklore. A good read.

Currently out of print, very rare
  I listed this book under adult just because of its rarity, while the story is probably for children I doubt you would want your kid to have this book if you got it ^_^. The only copy of this book I found was very expensive ($200) due to the fact it was signed, I don't know what a normal edition goes for but I sure can't afford that! I guess 1/150 books were signed, I don't know how large the entire print run was. It was noted that "title done in purple, title calligraphy in Japanese, six large hand-colored illust. tipped-in, numerous illust. done in brown, colophon. Lavender silk covered heavy bds., gilt lettering on spine & front cover, illust. is of fox dressed as young Japanese woman, Japanese calligraphy as endpapers" so it sounds like a really nicely-done book. If anyone comes across any other copies let me know! You can find the copy here.

The Dream Hunters- Neil Gaiman, Yoshitako Amano; Vertigo 1999
Cover Scan (hardcover)
128 pages
ISBN #1-56389-573-0
  If you can afford this book in hardcover, I recommend getting it because its really nice. Neil Gaiman is the author of Sandman and creator of several other great series in the fantasy/myth/horror genres. This book is his story of a kitsune and a monk told much like a traditional Japanese tale. It starts as a contest between a kitsune and tanuki and evolves into a kind of romance between the kitsune and monk. A sweet story with full-color pictures on each page. The Sandman also makes a brief appearance for fans of that series, but its not necessary to know any of the background to enjoy the story. Yoshitako Amano, a well-known Japanese artist, does all the illustrations. His style is very unique, very fluid and dream-like but still rough in spots. Sometimes I like his work and sometimes I don't but I think he did a nice job with this book. 

Fables volume 2: Animal Farm (issues 6-10)- Bill Willingham, illus Mark Buckingham, Steve Leialoha, and Daniel Vozzo; Vertigo 2003
Cover Scan (softcover)
ISBN #1-4012-077-x
  This is a really interesting comic series, I'm not sure how to sum it up briefly. Basically all the fables lived in a world of their own, but they've been driven out to the real world by a powerful being simple referred to as "the Adversary" and its armies. Then now live in the real world in secret. So there are two parts to the real-world Fabletown, the city, and the farm, where all the fables who couldn't pass in human society live. Snow White, in charge of governing Fabletown, has gone up with her sister Rose Red to check on the farm, only to find there is a bit of revolution going on (led mostly by the pigs, goldilocks, and the 3 bears.) Okay, here's where the fox comes in, really. Reynard the fox is one of a small group of animals supporting Snow White, and he helps here get away without getting killed, and becomes one of the man sub-characters of the story. Unique ongoing series and good stories.

Gold Digger: Edge Guard first story arc- need to check author; Antarctic Press

  This was a spin-off series to Fred Perry's Gold Digger. I honestly think it wasn't terribly good in either art or story, but the first arc involved a groups of magical foxes who helped guard the borders of Jade. They are each kidnapped and turned evil, so the remaining ones go to the main Edge Guard for help.

 This manga is by the famed creator of Dragonball, so you should recognize the style. Its basically about a boy cursed by a fox who must do good deeds to break it. I havn't read it yet so I can't say too much, I just found out about it. Its only available in Japanese, but the wonderful person at Toriyama's World website has English scan-lations (scanned pages with the English replacing the Japanese), so go there if you'd like to read it. 

Kitsune Tales- Woodrow Phoenix, illus. Andy Watson; Slave Labor Graphics 2003
Front Cover; Back Cover
One-shot comic special, 48 pages
  This is something of a prequel to Skeleton Key, where we have one of Kitsune's adventures long before she met Tamsin, but it is not necessary to have read Skeleton Key to get this story. The basic premise is of Kitsune, a lone fox spirit, in search of food. In that search she ends up being requested to save several children, who will otherwise be eaten by the beast dictator of the area. She must fight of other beasts and outwit him to get them back.

Sei: Death & Legend- Sho Murase; Image November 2003
Front Cover; Back Cover, page 1, page 2, page 3, page 4, page 5 (page images are taken from imagecomics.com)
One-shot comic, 64 pages
ISBN #1-58240-334-1
  This is a really nice digitally-colored comic retelling of a Shinto Japanese legend about the creation of the earth. Sei (death) is the main character, and Inari (god of food or goddess of rice), Tsuchi (goddess of fire), Izanagi (god of light and heaven), and Izanami (goddess of earth and darkness) all appear. The one of my main concern was Inari, who appears first as a fox and then as a man(?) in a fox mask. The story is okay, nothing spectacular, but its an interesting comic for anyone who like Japanese mythology. Japanese terms are also sprinkled through the comic, with basic translation notes at the bottom. I'm not sure if this book is translated from Japanese, it has the feeling of it, as if its rather stiffly translated, but I didn't think Image typically did this kind of stuff.
The artistry isn't the best, but I'm not usually as drawn to digitally-textured images. They're very lush in color and have interesting texture going on. There are illustrations scattered in the front and back of the book, as well as a little Q&A section about the gods. 
Oddly enough the images I got from the Image website of the pages and my actual book differ- the pages are not the exact order of the book pages, and on page 1 the sei logo is different,  page 2 is the same, page 3 has different images in the orange spheres and the demon woman is drawn a little differently, page 4 the text and word bubbles are different, and page 5 the text and word bubbles are different and the fox is orange-red rather than white in my book (though later his mask is white), and the first two panels are drawn a bit differently. So if anyone picks this up let me know if your version is like mine or theirs, I find it kind of odd.

Skeleton Key- Andi Watson; Amaze Ink 1995
No Cover Scan right now
Comic Series, over 30 issues and several specials
Collected in the following trade paperbacks- Beyond the Threshold, Celestial Calendar, Telling Tales, Cats & Dogs, Roots, and a couple other various single issues
   This is a comic I picked up a while back and love because the style was really unique then (there's more people that draw like that now) and the characters are interesting. Its one of Watson's first comics I though, because you can really see his style evolve and simplify through the series. The premise is that a goth girl named Tamsin gets a skeleton costume for Halloween. And in the pocket is a key that when fit in any door will open to a random world. Which is where she meets Kitsune. She's a fox from a Japanese-style universe who in fox form follows her back into the modern world. Kitsune has a big thing for sweets and is a pretty cool character once she adapts to living in Garfield (since Tamsin convinced her parents she was just an exchange student.) I like all the references to Japanese myth and Japanese stuff in general that are used in the comic, for instance how Kitsune can transform and use magic. The comic is about the fun and troubles that arise from the other worlds as well as their relationships in high school in their world. While its not the best comic in the world it still a enjoyable read. Some of Watson's other series include Geisha and Breakfast After Noon.

  This seemed like a good general book about the various kinds of foxes. From the publisher: "Foxes have long been associated with intelligence and cunning, and they are an integral part of folklore. "Foxes" is a comprehensive guide to the history, evolution, distribution, and social structure of foxes worldwide, from the red fox--the most widely distributed member of the family--to the Arctic fox--whose range encircles the North Pole--to Blanford's fox--a desert fox discovered in Israel."

ISBN #0824821025
Currently out of print, still fairly easy to find
  This book way recommended to me by another kitsune lover. The book focuses more on  Inari worship but there is a complete chapter relating to foxes. Here's the description I found online: "The deity Inari has been worshipped in Japan since at least the early eighth century and today is a revered presence in such varied venues as Shinto shrines, Buddhist temples, factories, theaters, private households, restaurants, beauty shops, and rice fields. Although at first glance and to its many devotees Inari worship may seem to be a unified phenomenon, it is in fact exceedingly multiple, noncodified, and noncentralized. No single regulating institution, dogma, scripture, or myth centers the practice. In this exceptionally insightful study, the author explores the worship of Inari in the context of homogeneity and diversity in Japan. The shape-shifting fox and the wish-fulfilling jewel, the main symbols of Inari, serve as interpretive metaphors to describe the simultaneously shared yet infinitely diverse meanings that duster around the deity." You can find a copy here, they run about $12-21.

Currently out of print, very rare and difficult to find
   This is a very old and rare book- if you happen to come across it snatch it up if you can! I got my copy after a search of rare/used bookstores and websites for several years and it cost me about $80. This is the only book I know of that collects information exclusively about kitsune from many sources, and its where I learned most of what I know about them. It explores kitsune in various writings throughout Japanese history and contains some tales as well as some nice color pictures, in addition to having many old stories about them throughout. I still keep my eye out for copies but thus far haven't seen any more. I suggest if you really want it to keep poking around random rare/used bookstores and asking them, you'll probably have better luck than with a retail chain. Also keep trying internet searches, although I have yet to see a copy turn up on ebay.

Red Fox: the Catlike Canine- J. David Henry; Smithsonian Institution Press 1996
No Cover Scan right now
174 pages
ISBN #1560986352
  This looks like a good book about red foxes in general by someone who has spent a lot of time studying them. From the publisher: "In this engaging introduction to the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), J. David Henry recounts his years of field research on this flame-colored predator. With its catlike whiskers, teeth, and paws, as well as vertical-slit pupils, the North American red fox not only resembles but often behaves like a feline, especially when hunting. Probing the reasons for these similarities, Henry reveals the behavior and ecology of a species that thrives from the edge of suburbia to the cold northern tundra."

  I luckily stumbled across this book while poking around out-of-print book sites. It seems to be a really neat book, but it was noted it was limited to 250 copies and the price was out of my budget ($95) and while it claimed there were 5 copies I only saw one. I believe this is also a smaller than usual size book. If anyone has this book please let me know! I do know the Japanese often say when it is raining and the sun is shining that it is a "fox wedding." I have no other information on this book unfortunately. You can find a copy here.

  This is a book I happened to stumble upon in a Barnes and Noble sale section. It was half off and then 70% off on top of that so it ended up being only a couple bucks, so I couldn't resist. There are large full-page pictures of various types of foxes throughout (though primarily red), and information on them. A little bit about their breeding cycle, seasonal behavior, various types, and relationship with humans. Its probably not anything you don't already know if you know a little about foxes, but the photographs are nice to look at for reference.

Mind's Eye Theater- Hengeyokai: the Way of the Beast Courts; White Wolf ?year?
No Cover Scan
200 pages
ISBN# 1-58846-514-4
  "This is Not Your Land, Gai-jin. For centuries, the hengeyokai - the secretive shapeshifters of the East - have resisted the incursions of the Western world. Tales of goblin spiders, mischievous fox-women, chattering ravens and mighty dragons abound from Indias rivers to the islands of Japan. But as the West and its creatures invade the sacred homelands, the hengeyokai watch the Wheel of Ages grind ever closer toward an Age of Darkness. Hengeyokai: Way of the Beast Courts contains all the material you need to create stories of the East and its strange creatures. Here is a complete view of the shapeshifters that populate these lands - their beliefs, their ways, their powers. Also included is a Changing Breed book for the Kitsune fox-shifters, and tribal information and Gifts for the Garou Stargazers who recently returned to their Eastern homelands."
  I havn't read this book nor been able to flip through it in person, so I don't know how good it is. Sounds interesting though. The description was copied from White Wolf's web catalog. I think many of the books in this series are going out of print, but this one seems to be still available. If you don't know who White Wolf is, they're commonly known for their Vampire, Werewolf, and other RPGs.

   This book is for roleplaying Dungeons and Dragons (3rd edition.) It includes information on playing a shapechanging animal, including as a fox, described in the racial class "Hengeyokai." It provides basic stat changes and abilities in human, half-animal, and animal foms. Great starting point for making a kitsune character to role play in this system type, though you would definately want to flesh it out more and possibly change a couple things to fine-tune it. I also tried to make up a very detailed kitsune race based on D&D before I found out about this book, if you'd like a copy of it e-mail me. I never quite completed it though.
