Fancy Free

Eden Phillpotts

British novelist Eden Phillpotts wrote the book Fancy Free, which was initially released in 1901. The protagonist of the tale is a young English woman named Fancy Quilter who lives in a small Devonian village. Despite social expectations, Fancy is a free-spirited, self-reliant lady who is determined to enjoy life on her terms. The story follows Fancy as she struggles with issues of love, family, and societal conventions. She develops feelings for a local farmer named Dick Pentreath, but their relationship is hampered by her family's disapproval and their disparate social classes. As the narrative progresses, Fancy is forced to face the results of her decisions and the boundaries of her own freedom. As she discovers her position in the world, she comes to understand the value of community and compromise. The early 20th century English classic novel Fancy Free addresses issues of love, class, and the quest for individual independence. Readers still find resonance in this timeless story today. This rare antiquarian book is a facsimile replica of the ancient original and can include some marks and annotations from the library.
