Fantastic Mr.Fox...By Roald Dahl...My All time fav book...

Due to the tyrannical nature of the three local farmers, Boggis, Bunce and Bean (one fat, one short, one lean), Mr Fox finds himself unable to steal enough chickens or geese to support his wife and their three young fox cubs. Other animals in the area are similarly affected, including Badger, Mrs Badger and thier three baby badgers and the Mole and Rabbit families. Just as they are all sure to die of starvation, the ingenious Mr Fox hatches a remarkable plan that will not only get them food, but sort out those horrible farmers for good and all they have to do is start digging...

Mr. Fox goes into the three farmers' farms and steals their chickens and geese on a daily basis. He takes it to his home and feeds his wife and three cubs. But soon, problems arise. The food was started to run short everyday. The food that was brought everyday wasn't enough to satisfy everyone's hunger. Other families and individual animals were facing similar problems. To add to their problems, the three farmers were getting more determined to get rid of Mr. Fox and all the other troublemakers.

Soon, Boggis, Bunce and Bean decide that they had to take action. They plan a number of things to trap and kill Mr. Fox. They try day and night to trap Mr. Fox, but the cunning genius manages to escape each time. Then, the three farmers come up with their best plan yet; they decide to dig into his home. So they bring their machines and start digging in through the ground. Mr. Fox, the smartest fox in the area, was now trapped along with his family and a lot of other animals. Mr. Fox takes a while to think of a solution to the problem he was now in, and then he hatches a brilliant plan. He realizes that they could dig faster than the farmers could...

So, he and his family start digging. They face problems like hunger, but they keep going. Soon, the family had to stop. Mr. Fox met up with a few of his other animal friends including Badger, Mrs. Badger, three baby badgers, Mole, and Rabbit families. They dig together. It was then that they hit a treasure paradise beyond their most magnificent dreams. The underground team had hit what to them was a fantasy. They hit the place where all of Boggis', Bunce's and Bean's work lay. All the food and products that were grown on the farm lay here. Mr. Fox and his crew along with their families find their key to survival. They find food. They also manage to escape from the clutches of the three horrible farmers; Boggis, Bunce, and Bean.
