Tinted Venus

by F. Anstey

In F. Anstey's 'Tinted Venus', a young man named Reginald is caught between his fiancé and an alluring woman from his past, a captivating encounter at an amusement park. While strolling through the park's gardens, they discover a stunning statue of a woman with unusually small hands, drawing Reginald's attention to his fiancé's similarly small hands. He tries to prove this by placing his fiancé's engagement ring on the statue's finger, but to his astonishment, the ring fits perfectly. The unexpected turn of events leads to a series of extraordinary and often comical situations as the line between reality and the supernatural blurs, creating a captivating blend of fantasy, humor, and romance.
