The fifth story in the "Book Eating Fox" series!
A pink spring story about a fox man in love!
The love of poetry and painting, born from the encounter between Mr. Fox, who falls in love with poetry, and Mira, a painter.
Mr. Fox's continued love of books, still hungry even after eating them all.

Spring of Mr. Fox dyed in pink!
Mr. Fox, who fell in love with Mira, a painter who happened to come across him, and ended up writing a 'love poem'.
Is Mr. Fox becoming a poet now?

In the previously published series, Mr. Fox went on adventures alone.
To get your favorite writing ideas.
Most of them get caught up in some incident while traveling and have an unexpected adventure.
But in this book, “The Book-Eating Fox’s Spring Story,” we meet a new side of Mr. Fox.
A major incident occurred in the daily life of Mr. Fox, who had been alone all along.
This incident is none other than 'love'.
Mr. Fox, who had been writing a new book all winter, went out for a walk to change his mood, hoping to find a way to solve the ending that was not easily resolved.
Mr. Fox stops by a bookstore to buy a new book, but when he can't resist the urge to eat it, he decides to taste the new book in a clearing in the forest.
But there, Mr. Fox gets stung by a bug and falls in love with Mira, a painter he meets by chance.
From then on, Mr. Fox put off writing a new book and devoted himself to writing poetry.
So much so that I was worried that Mira might have some strange illness.
Just like Mr. Fox, who is persistent when he gets into something, Mr. Fox also persistently pursues love.
The love for Mira, which has no taste for taste, is as passionate as the love for books.


Mr. Fox's love of writing and books continues, never forgetting his duty as a writer!

In this story, Mr. Fox fell in love and gave up writing books, instead focusing solely on writing poetry.
Because of that, Mr. Fox's long-time friend and publisher, Bitnari, felt his heart pounding.
Readers have been waiting for a new book for over a year, but they have no interest in new books and are only interested in reciting poetry, so it is a bolt from the blue.
I really thought that this was the end of Mr. Fox's love for books, but Mr. Fox is still Mr. Fox.
Although he told Ms. Bitnari that he had destroyed the manuscript, he was actually keeping the manuscript for the new book safe.
Mr. Fox, who woke up from love, quickly comes to his senses and returns to his old self, devoting himself to finishing his book.
Mr. Fox, who had a clear goal and what he liked, seemed to look away for a moment, but quickly returned to his original self.
And Mr. Fox's love of books continued.

Expressing the Korean word 'poetry' in a picture
A message from author Franziska Biermann to her Korean readers.

In this book, a large green pillar appears among the pictures.
This pillar appears in the scene where the fox man, who is obsessed with poetry, recites poetry next to the painter Mira.
But if you look closely at this pillar, you can see that it is the Korean word '시'.
This setting originated from an idea by Franziska Biermann.
I looked up the letters myself and drew them over and over again to find the right composition that matches the picture.
This is the author's heart dedicated to the Korean readers who loved his books and Mr. Fox.
