"Celtic mythology, the red fox is a symbolic animal. In the Cotswolds, witches were thought to take the shape of foxes to steal butter from their neighbours. In later European folklore, the figure of Reynard the Fox symbolises trickery and deceit.

He reappeared in 1175 in Pierre Saint Cloud's ""Le Roman de Renart"", and made his debut in England in Geoffrey Chaucer's ""The Nun's Priest's Tale"".
