Description

Ordinary clerk George Fotheringay discovers a wish can rearrange the furniture, then the sky. A public-house argument, a constable sent halfway round the world, and at last the Earth told to stop: power turns from joke to cosmic backlash. Human folly and limitless will in mortal hands, with comic peril that sharpens into dread when miracles refuse to stay small.

Author

H. G. Wells (1866–1946) was born in Bromley, trained in biology under Huxley, and turned that laboratory habit into fiction. The Time Machine sent a Victorian into deep time; The War of the Worlds brought the sky down on the Home Counties. He wrote as if the future were a social problem with monsters attached. The novels argue while they entertain. A draper's son who made scientific romance a public language.
