| Summary | "Red Ben, the Fox of Oak Ridge" by Joseph Wharton Lippincott is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the adventures of a clever red fox named Red Ben as he navigates the challenges of his wild existence, including evading traps set by local farmers and facing off against his cunning rival, the gray fox. The narrative emphasizes themes of intelligence, survival, and the connection between nature and wildlife. The opening of the book introduces Ben Slown, a farmer encroaching on the natural woodlands of New Jersey, which irks the wildlife, particularly feeding a growing conflict with Ben's nemesis, a clever red fox. After losing several chickens to this fox, Ben sets out to catch it, all the while unaware that the vixen has given birth to pups. The narrative captures the tension between man and nature, establishing a fast-paced and suspenseful relationship between Red Ben, the farmer, and the surrounding woods, laying the foundation for the fox's adventures and struggles for survival in a world increasingly dominated by humans.
