Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973) was the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Her vast œuvre also includes about twenty books for children. The Little Fox in the Middle is one of the later ones, published in 1966 by Collier Books, with illustrations by Robert Jones. The jacket typography brings two typefaces that both originated in 1950s Germany: the title is in Georg Trump’s Codex (1954), the credits in Hermann Zapf’s Palatino with italic (1950).
