Inspired freely by Saint-Exupéry, this story relates a meeting between man and animal. Antoine the aviator bursts into the wild world of the fox during an accident in the forest. Thanks to the man's patience and his respect for the animal, a bond is established. And even if, without meaning to, Antoine takes the fox in his flying machine to discover the world of men, there will be no problem. Why? Because there is trust. Because there is trust. In spite of the violent climate that hangs over life on the airfield (Antoine is a war pilot), the animal does not give up his dreams, and when his friend does not return from his last flight, he does not lose hope of finding him. Anna Forlati's illustrations bring to Luca Tortolini's text the harmony of line and colour to depict a world where all that is missing is the strength of the heart, that is to say courage and confidence, to make it a true paradise.
