Summary "Lady into Fox" by David Garnett is a novella written in the early 20th century, specifically in the 1920s. This fantastical tale revolves around the marriage of Richard Tebrick and his wife Silvia, whose life takes a dramatic turn when she is inexplicably transformed into a fox. The story encapsulates themes of love, loss, and the struggle between human emotions and animal instincts. The opening of the novella introduces the extraordinary event of Mrs. Tebrick's transformation as a seemingly solitary marvel in a mundane world. Mr. Tebrick, grappling with bewilderment and sorrow, witnesses his wife’s sudden change during a walk in the woods. Despite their deep bond, he now faces the reality that his wife, while still retaining her consciousness and character, is trapped in the body of a wild fox. The narrative highlights Mr. Tebrick's attempts to care for Silvia in her new form, as he navigates the challenges of their unconventional relationship, including her instincts as a fox and their implications on love and fidelity.
