Mr Britling Sees it Through

by H. G. Wells

Overview

This vintage book contains H. G. Wells's 1916 masterpiece of wartime literature, "Mr. Britling Sees it Through". It tells the story of Mr. Britling, a famous writer and obvious alter ego of the author who lives with his family in the fictional town of Matching's Easy, England. This masterful novel is highly recommended for those with an interest in wartime literature, and is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Wells's seminal work. Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was an English writer whose notable works include "The War of the Worlds" (1897) and "The Time Machine" (1895). Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.

Editorial Reviews

"Offering a fascinating portrait of Britain at war, and a chronicle of events seen from a contemporary perspective, and an insight into H G Wells himself (Mr Britling being a largely autobiographical character), "Mr. Britling Sees It Through" admirably holds up as both an enduring work of literary fiction and as a consistently engaging war-time novel written from the perspective of a father instead of front-line combatants... very highly recommended"
