About the Book

Named one of 2004's best books by The Spectator and The Sunday Times, The Fox in the Cupboard is a vivid and deeply personal account of the hidden, beautiful, and frequently comic world of horses and hunting in a small corner of England.

Review :
"Anybody who wants to know why the English are so crazy on the subject of foxhunting -- both those who are for it and those who are against -- can hardly do better than to read Jane Shilling's funny, touching and graceful memoir, which will also tell him (or her) a lot about the well-known fact that the English are horse crazy as well, and about the abiding (and apparently changeless) charms of rural English life."

-- Michael Korda, author of "Horse People"

"Candid, comic, and laden with evocative memories, this is a gutsy adventure story and a meditation on belonging."

-- "Mail on Sunday"

"Funny, moving, and true."

-- Jane Ridley, "The Spectator"

"Jane Shilling has written a hymn to the English landscape in the great and tender tradition of English pastoral writing. Her attention to detail and her realism make this book wonderfully evocative. But it is also a personal journey of a woman who the reader cannot help but like, on her way through small tests of courage to a lifelong love. An absolutely modern book but an ancient tradition."

-- Philippa Gregory, author of "The Other Boleyn Girl"

"Sharply sensuous...deeply enjoyable...Satire and yearning, aspiration and anxiety, buff her perceptions to brilliance...Ýa¨ beautifully written account of a love affair with the English countryside."

-- Caroline Moore, "The Sunday Telegraph"

"This is a jewel of a book -- funny, well-observed and beautifully written."

-- "The Spectator" (UK)

"Jane Shilling has my unreserved admiration for the grace with which she writes, for the humor with which she describes the difficult journey towards becoming a competent rider...kindness...good humor and tolerance...ring through the pages of Shilling's book like bells....This is a book I shall want to read more than once."

-- Miranda Seymour, "The Sunday Times"
