 Chanticleer and the Fox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The tale of Chanticleer and the Fox is a beast fable popularised by the 14th century Middle English poet Geoffrey Chaucer.
As the fox is chased through the forest, Chanticleer (all the while dangling from the fox's jaws) suggests that the fox should pause to tell his pursuers to give up their chase.
Its protagonist is Chanticleer, a proud rooster who dreams of his approaching doom in the form of a hound.

 SparkNotes: The Canterbury Tales: The Nun’s Priest’s Prologue, Tale, and Epilogue
One chicken, her rooster, is named Chanticleer, which in French means “sings clearly.” True to his name, Chanticleer’s “cock-a-doodle-doo” makes him the master of all roosters.
If we read the story as an allegory, Chanticleer’s story is a tale of how we are all easily swayed by the smooth, flattering tongue of the devil, represented by the fox.
The next day, Chanticleer notices the fox while watching a butterfly, and the fox confronts him with dissimulating courtesy, telling the rooster not to be afraid.

Review: Chanticleer and the Fox, an adaptation of the Nun's Priest's Tale, is a simple and delightful tale with a moral (or three) at the end.
When a fox bursts into his domain, dupes him into crowing, and then grabs him in a viselike grip, Chanticleer must do some quick thinking to save himself and his barnyard kingdom.
One day, however, a sly fox comes with flattering words and tricks poor Chanticleer into closing his eyes.

 Barbara Cooney - Penguin Group (USA) Authors - Penguin Group (USA)
She won the Caldecott medal in 1959 for Chanticleer and the Fox, adapted from Chaucer's The Nun's Priest's Tale.
In fact, it was for her adaptation of Chaucer& The Nun Priest’s Tale that she won the prestigious Caldecott Medal in 1959.
One reviewer noted that Cooney, "by quoting the most delightful parts of the tale, has given young children a happy foretaste of Chaucer rather than the simplified, flavorless outline usual in adaptations." Her illustrations, observed another, "spread brilliantly over the pages, the country scenes filled with medieval details gleaned from study of old manuscripts."
