Boon illustrated

by H. G. Wells

Overview

Boon illustrated H. G. Wells - In this delightful work Mr. Wells has run amuck through the crowded and already sufficiently turbulent highways of his contemporary world, and has bowled over very nearly everybody in sight, abroad and at home, from the Kaiser and Lord Morley and Lord Haldane and Mr. Henry James and Mr. Bernard Shaw and the militarists and the American public to Mr. Houston Stewart Chamberlain. Scarcely a head escapes, if it is at all in view; and even being dead does not save you from the joyous ferocity of Mr. Wells. Nor is any one too slightly conspicuous to hope for clemency at the hands of the bloodthirsty Mr. Wellsas you can see by observing the dreadful immortalization that has befallen an unfortunate gentleman named Osborn, who apparently writes pieces for the London Morning Post.
