With a towering 19.3 cm high king, it doesn't get much more impressive than this!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fables of Reynard the Fox are among the longest-established literary traditions in Western history, with even Geoffrey Chaucer basing some of his writing on them. Reynard, the Fox himself, ties the various tales together, which comprise beasts satirically taking the places of various human character tropes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese humorous tales have proven so popular that the word 'Renard' has replaced the word for fox in French. Although he is cowardly and self-seeking, Reynard himself is a sympathetic hero and a strikingly accurate mirror of the human condition.\nThe master craftsmen at Berkeley Chess in Somerset, UK have taken these beloved and charming characters and adapted them into this wonderful chess set, finished with a rich cream and russet brown colouring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berkeley Chess","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53528645402966,"sku":"BC2015","price":367.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/5166\/0118\/files\/BC2015.jpg?v=1778247814","url":"https:\/\/regencychess.ie\/products\/berkeley-chess-reynard-the-fox-russet-chessmen","provider":"The Regency Chess Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
