Synopsis

These three famous novellas display D. H. Lawrence's intelligent and sensitive evocation of human relationships - both tender and cruel - and the destructive effects of war. In ‘˜The Fox’, two young women living on a small farm during the First World War find their solitary life interrupted. As a fox preys on their poultry, a human predator plans to prey on the women. ‘The Captain's Doll’ explores the complex and intimate relationship between a German countess and a married Scottish soldier in occupied Germany, while in ‘The Ladybird’ a wounded German prisoner of war has a disturbing and profound influence on the Englishwoman who visits him in hospital.
