Preface

How to be Human is the story of Mary and her unusual relationship with a fox. The story begins with Mary discovering her neighbour’s infant girl on her doorstep. It is unclear whether Mary herself has taken her, whether the baby’s mother has abandoned her, or whether she has been left their as a gift from the fox.

Initially Mary is scared by the fox but increasingly she comes to see that the fox could be a friend, someone she can talk to about her obsessive ex and her increasingly unfriendly neighbours. As her neighbours step up their efforts to hunt the fox the reader will begin to wonder who is attempting to save who?
