"The Zanzibar Cat" (1971) is a short story by Joanna Russ, in which the Miller's daughter from the city of Appletap-cum-Cumber goes up against the Duke of Fairyland.
It is an hommage to Hope Mirrlees and her novel Lud-in-the-Mist, which Russ describes as doing "half in affectionate parody, but the other half very seriously indeed". (Of the many plays on words in this story, the similarity between the names Miller and Mirrlees should stand out.)
"The Zanzibar Cat" appears as the title story at the end of Russ's collection, The Zanzibar Cat (1983).
