THE WONDERFUL VISIT.
By H. G. WELLS,
AUTHOR OF “THE TIME MACHINE,” ETC.
W. L. COURTNEY, in the Daily Telegraph.
“It would be indeed difficult to overpraise the grace, the delicacy, and the humour with which the author has accomplished his task. It is all so piquantly fresh, so charmingly unconventional, that it carries one away with it from start to finish in a glow of pleasurable sentiment. Rarely, amidst all the floods of conventional fiction-spinning and latter-day psychological analysis, does one come across such a pure jet of romantic fancy as that with which Mr. Wells refreshes our spirits.”
Pall Mall Gazette.
“Enthusiastic we own that we are; no book could be more prodigal of honest delight, and its promise leaves hardly any literary accomplishment beyond the aspiration of its author.”
Saturday Review.
“A striking fantasia, wrought with infinite tact, charm, and wit.... The conversations are full of light and delicate (rather than full-bodied) wit, and it becomes sufficiently pungent at times; but underlying the sweet or acid wit, or even the pure fun (for fun abounds), there is a vein of seriousness and sadness which, with the beautiful descriptive miniatures scattered here and there, justify us in calling the story a piece of literature.”
