The Book of Sorrows
''The Book of Sorrows'' is the sequel novel to Walter Wangerin, Jr.'s ''The Book of the Dun Cow''. Published by Zondervan in 1985, it was received quite well by publications such as the ''Washington Post'', whose review called it "a beautifully written fantasy anchored starkly in reality." Readers noted it for its melancholy tone, with one of the main themes of the book being sorrow.
==Russell the fox==
''The Book of Sorrows'' begins almost exactly where the last book ended. The great war is over and Chauntecleer and his animals are all mending the damage that it left. Chauntecleer leads them on a journey to find a new resting place, while the climate slowly changes from summer to autumn. Freitag, the mouse brother who is closest to Russell, tries continually to get him to stop talking, but of course the fox doesn't listen. He instead brings Freitag to a nearby stream where he emphatically tells him how to catch minnows with his tail until his lips and nose begin to crack and bubble. The fox seems to have lost his will to live, for he is no longer speaking. Chauntecleer begins to help Russell eat, by first placing the food in the fox's mouth, and mechanically grinds the fox's teeth with his own wings. But the poison has rotted the roots of Russell's' teeth, which loosen during Chauntecleer's feedings. Chauntecleer then begins chewing the food with his own mouth, and spitting it into the fox's, but it soon becomes apparent to him that he is feeding a lifeless corpse.
