Lady Into Fox and A Man in the Zoo

David Garnett's story titles are accurate: In the first, a lady turns into a fox; in the second, a man is exhibited in a zoo. First published in 1922 and 1924, they are tall tales that, because of Garnett's skill, appear plausible and, ultimately, true. And they leave the reader understanding that human nature and animal nature intersect at more points than previously thought.
