perhaps this book could enlighten you.
The Fox Woman (written by Kij Johnson) is an exceptional art of story-telling, poetry, love and fascination. It is like the world behind mirror, dream-like and truth-seeking, a poem in its very essence.
excerpt poems:
In gaps in the rain, I met the moon's eyes -
Welcome as it is, I wonder that it hide behind tears.
The Spider's web can catch the moonlight,
but cannot keep it.
For anyone interested in poetry in general, I profoundly recommend this, but if you need more about the plot...
The main hero is a young female fox who falls in love with a man. She can't understand this feeling at first but still tries to get near him and his world, which leads to her suffering. Finally, her family decides to help her and together they perform ancient fox magic and shift to human form. The young vixen has hard time getting used to it but enjoys it nevertheless, until the time comes to seduce her beloved.
That is hardly a half of the story and it depends on you whether you want to know the rest. It's very pleasant and easy to read and it's certainly different from anything you might have read so far. If you want to get familiar with fox's magic, then there's no better start than with this book.
