"Lolly Willowes: or, the loving huntsman" by Sylvia Townsend Warner is a novel published in 1926. This satirical fantasy follows Laura Willowes, a middle-aged spinster trapped by family obligations in early twentieth-century London.

Blending social comedy with supernatural elements, the novel explores women's rebellion against societal constraints through an unconventional tale of witchcraft, independence, and the price of true autonomy.
