The Fox of Kensal Green

A quiet neighbourhood of London is about to be shattered. Normally little happens in these mixed streets of families, retirees, podcasters and gossips. A little group create a community garden. An ageing journalist writes nature columns. A left-wing Scotsman longs for the glory days when he interviewed Castro. A disabled professor plans a book clearance. Supine Mario takes far too many drugs. And Wilf Kelly decides to get a fox as a pet. Can a fox be tamed? Wilf sets out to do it. We follow his journey of self-discovery as he patiently befriends the animal. When Wilf is accused of an awful crime, he becomes the target of a police and media firestorm. It's a drama that galvanises not just the community but people from all around London to pour to Kensal Green's streets. But can anyone prove Wilf's innocence? A superbly written debut novel with a big heart, that will make you laugh, cry and remind you of the joy of community spirit.
