The Wonderful Visit

by H. G. Wells

Overview

Although Wells is best known for his science fiction stories he was also a serious commentator on the political scene surrounding World War I. H G Wells (1866 - 1946) wrote both fiction and non-fiction. He worked in many genres including novels, history, and social commentaries. The Wonderful Visit tells the story of a fallen angel. The angel must try and adapt to life in a small English village. The angel's reactions to the villagers, along with his pureness and wholesomeness make him an enemy of the people. As he spends more time on Earth he becomes more human. He experiences love, human trials, and "life".
