A wounded German officer, Count Psanek, shares his philosophies on life and love with a local acquaintance, Lady Daphne, while interned in London during the final months of the First World War. Lady Daphne finds herself alternately attracted and repulsed by the Count, and when her husband returns home from the front she finds her feelings toward him are equally ambiguous.

For Lawrence, love is never a simple exchange, but something both independently personal and wholly dependent. Rife with symbolism and subtext, "The Ladybird" is a story that can be read again and again, providing the reader with different experiences and new perspectives each time.

HarperPerennial Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms. Look for more titles in the HarperPerennial Classics collection to build your digital library.
