Early in 1880 a young couple went for a walk in the English countryside. Suddenly and completely the woman became a fox. As time passed she fully embraced her new form, as her husband sometimes reluctantly, sometimes eagerly adapted to their evolving relationship. Lady Into Fox tells their story, and this transformation is stylized from left to right across the binding.
