"Reineke Fuchs / Reynard the Fox is the main character of an epic in verse and prose, the tradition of which goes back to the European Middle Ages. A Low German verse version Reynke de vos, printed in Lübeck in 1498, became a bestseller in German-speaking countries in the 16th century. It tells how the witty Reineke, the fox, saves himself from all precarious situations through ingenious lies and selected malice and in the end emerges victorious against his opponents."
