The Cocoon: A Rest Cure Comedy is a novel written by Ruth McEnery Stuart and published in 1915. The story revolves around a wealthy woman named Mrs. Carrington, who is sent to a rest cure resort in the countryside by her doctor, in order to recover from her nervous breakdown. The resort, called The Cocoon, is run by a quirky doctor named Dr. Gresham, who prescribes a strict regimen of rest and relaxation for his patients. Mrs. Carrington initially resists the treatment, but soon finds herself drawn into the eccentric world of The Cocoon, where she meets a cast of colorful characters, including a young couple who are trying to save their failing marriage, an elderly gentleman who is obsessed with his health, and a group of women who are determined to find husbands. As Mrs. Carrington begins to relax and let go of her anxieties, she finds herself becoming more and more involved in the lives of the other patients, and even falls in love with one of them. The Cocoon is a charming and humorous novel that explores the themes of mental health, self-discovery, and the healing power of rest and relaxation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
