This astonishing true story is the basis for Dexter Palmer's stunning, powerfully evocative new novel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Surgeon's apprentice Zachary Walsh knows that his master, John Howard, prides himself on his rationality. But John cannot explain how or why Mary Toft, the wife of a local journeyman, has managed to give birth to a dead rabbit. When this singular event be­comes a regular occurrence, John and Zach­ary realize that nothing in their experience as rural physicians has prepared them to deal with a situation like this--strange, troubling, and possibly miraculous. John contacts sev­eral of London's finest surgeons, three of whom soon arrive in Godalming to observe, argue, and perhaps use the case to cultivate their own fame. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When King George I learns of Mary's plight, she and her doctors are summoned to London, where Zachary experiences a world far removed from his small-town ex­istence and is exposed to some of the dark­est corners of the human soul. All the while Mary lies in bed, as doubts begin to blossom among her caretakers and a growing group of onlookers waits with impatience for an­other birth, another miracle.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Pantheon","offers":[{"title":"Mary Toft; Or, the Rabbit Queen | Dexter Palmer | Hardcover | 9781101871935 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1742762","offer_id":50899180355842,"sku":"1742762","price":27.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81YbuHPP1tL.jpg?v=1793182230","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/mary-toft-or-the-rabbit-queen","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
