The Sea Lady

by H. G. Wells

Overview

For the fashionable and affluent Randolph Buntings, it was just another day at the beach -- that was until Fred spotted a mysterious lady in a red dress and Phrygian bathing-cap getting into difficulties far out at sea. Embarking on a brave and daring rescue attempt, Fred waded in and brought her safely to shore. The family applauded warmly -- after all, not every day had such excitement. It was only later that they spotted that this lady wasn't quite 'normal' -- in fact, to be precise, she had a tail. For it seemed the Randolph Buntings had been visited by a mermaid.

Editorial Reviews

This volume is subtitled The text examines Wells' fantasy, which did not sell well at publication and has been largely ignored by critics. Stover's (emeritus, Illinois Institute of Technology) introduction provides an overview of the text and the story of and explains the ideas of civil death, every citizen acting as a public servant, and the concept of totalitarian metaphysics.
