"His Monkey Wife" by John Collier and the brilliant "Appius and Virginia" by G. E. Trevelyan

Ah yes, I have a copy of His Monkey Wife! Not heard of the Trevelyan

@neglectedbooks.com is Trevelyan's biggest champion and we have him to thank for several of her brilliant works being back in print for the first time in decades
