D. H. Lawrence wrote these three 'novelettes' between November 1920 and December 1921; they were enthusiastically received by his English publisher and his readers. With 'The Fox', written in December 1918, Lawrence added a 'long tail' two years later, expanding the story to about three times its original length. 'The Ladybird' also started out as a short story, but was completely rewritten. The characters and the setting of 'The Captain's Doll' arose out of Lawrence's visit to Austria in summer 1920.
