Reynard, the Fox himself, ties the various tales together, which comprise beasts satirically taking the places of various classic human character tropes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese humorous tales have proven so popular that the word 'Renard' has replaced the word for fox in French. While cowardly and self-seeking, Reynard himself is a sympathetic hero and a strikingly accurate mirror of the human condition. The master craftsmen at Berkeley Chess in Somerset, UK, have developed these beloved and charming characters into this wonderful chess set, finished with a deep cream and cardinal red coloring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berkeley Chess","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53528641438038,"sku":"BC3015","price":496.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/5166\/0118\/files\/BC3015.jpg?v=1778247807","url":"https:\/\/regencychess.com\/products\/berkeley-chess-reynard-the-fox-cardinal-chessmen","provider":"The Regency Chess Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
