«Une Fantaisie du docteur Ox» is the science fiction novel by Jules Verne, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (128 pages, in French).

When the mysterious Doctor Ox proposes installing a modern gas lighting system, the residents begin to show an unfamiliar vitality and restlessness. With a farcical tone, the narrative satirizes blind faith in science and human foolishness.
The work was originally published in 1872; this edition dates from 1978 and belongs to the Folio Junior collection.
Aimed at a children's and young adult audience; the editorial record indicates an age range of 0 to 9 years.
