The third lost classic from the Collins Library: David Garnett's haunting 1922 debut novel, the story of a man, a woman, a fox, and a love that could not be tamed. Hardcover, bound in foxy orange cloth, and illustrated with woodcuts by Garnett's wife.
"Magnificent... write twenty more books, at once, I beseech."
-Virginia Woolf
"It is the most successful thing of the kind I have ever seen... flawless in style and exposition, altogether an accomplished piece of work."
-Joseph Conrad
"The most amazingly good story I have read in a long time. I don't propose to offer criticisms. I accept a book like this, I don't criticize it. I have nothing to say about how it is done, because I think it is perfectly done and could not have been done in any other way. It is quite a fresh thing. It is as astonishing and it is as entirely right and consistent as a new creation, a new sort of animal let us say, suddenly running about in the world."
-H.G. Wells
