The Tortoise by Edward F. Benson is a short story that revolves around a man named Mr. Pritchard who becomes obsessed with his pet tortoise, Timothy. Mr. Pritchard is convinced that Timothy is a highly intelligent creature and begins to treat him like a human, even going so far as to dress him up in clothes and take him out for walks. The story follows Mr. Pritchard's descent into madness as he becomes more and more convinced of Timothy's intelligence and begins to neglect his own life and responsibilities in favor of spending time with the tortoise. The story is a dark and humorous exploration of the human psyche and the dangers of obsession. Benson's writing is witty and engaging, and the story is sure to keep readers entertained from beginning to end.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
