Arty and the Fox is a 1994 book by Barry Crump. Plot There weren't many scams Arty hadn't tried in his search to make a quid. First he hatches a plan involving five hundred chicks, which gets the neighbours' feathers ruffled; then he tries a spot of the gardening, which leads to a cabbage fiasco. Next is a job digging a long drop, which really gets up the noses of the townsfolk. And so on. Then Arty and his mate Joe get a contract for roadmarking, they hit a gold mine - literally. The only black cloud on the horizon is in the shape of the Fox, an overzealous traffic cop who's determined to find out the truth behind their little scam - and put them behind bars if possible.
