However, one day, Sylvia suddenly transforms into a fox while they are out on a walk. Despite Richard's initial shock and confusion, he decides to take care of his wife in her new form and protect her from the dangers of the wild.As the story progresses, Richard struggles to come to terms with his wife's transformation and the challenges they face as a couple. He must also navigate the reactions of their friends and family, who are both fascinated and horrified by Sylvia's condition.The novel is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the boundaries between human and animal nature. It is a beautifully written and imaginative work that will captivate readers with its unique premise and emotional depth.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.
