In this, the first biography of Garnett, (known as Bunny), author Sarah Knights Â? who has had unprecedented access to Garnett's papers Â? goes beyond stereotype and myth to present a clear sighted account of this often contradictory figure.Trained as a scientist, Garnett worked as a novelist and wrote exquisite prose. *Lady into Fox* was made into a Rambert ballet and* Aspects of Love* into an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. In the First World War, he was a conscientious objector whereas in the Second he worked for British intelligence. A free love enthusiast, he nevertheless married. He loathed literary criticism but became a leading literary critic.
