Description
Albert Cutts is a tree feller. A fella who cuts down trees. Fog is a fox cub raised by a dingo. He's called a dox because people are suspicious of foxes and Albert Cutts owns the dingo and now the dox.
Albert is a bushman and lives a remote life surrounded by animals and birds. All goes well until Albert has an accident.
This is a story of courage, acceptance and respect. It is reminiscent of the gentle storytelling style of Australian author Alan Marshall (I Can Jump Puddles). The dialogue is finely crafted and Indigenous cultural knowledge and awareness are seamlessly integrated into the story.
