Lady Into Fox is a novella written by David Garnett, first published in 1922. The story follows a young couple, Richard and Sylvia Tebrick, who live a quiet and contented life in the English countryside. However, one day while out on a walk, Sylvia suddenly transforms into a fox. Richard is shocked and bewildered by this sudden transformation, but he resolves to care for his wife in her new form.As the days pass, Richard struggles to adapt to his wife's new condition and the challenges that come with it. He must protect her from hunters and other dangers while also dealing with the social stigma of having a fox for a wife. Meanwhile, Sylvia begins to embrace her wild nature and becomes increasingly distant from Richard.The novella explores themes of love, loss, and transformation, as well as the boundaries between humans and animals. It is a haunting and poignant tale that has been praised for its lyrical prose and imaginative storytelling. Lady Into Fox has been adapted for the stage and screen, and it remains a classic of modern British literature.He propped her up in an armchair with some cushions, and they took tea together, she very delicately drinking from a saucer and taking bread and butter from his hands. All this showed him, or so he thought, that his wife was still herself; there was so little wildness in her demeanour and so much delicacy and decency, especially in her not wishing to run naked, that he was very much comforted, and began to fancy they could be happy enough if they could escape the world and live always alone.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
