Description
Gon, the Little Fox (in Japanese: ごんぎつね: Gongitsune) is a famous Japanese children's story about the life of a little fox called Gon. The story is considered the masterpiece of Niimi Nankichi, also sometimes known as the Hans Christian Andersen of Japan. 「ごん狐」は、新美南吉(1913-1943)が１８歳の時に「赤い鳥」に発表しました。度々、小学校の国語教科書に採用され、多くの日本人が知る童話です。一人ぼっちの「ごん」は、やはり、一人ぼっちになった「兵十」との交流を願います。しかし、「ごん」の期待に反して、悲劇的な結末を迎えます。
