The Wonderful Visit

 gripped by genuinely imaginative work.... A strikingly
 original performance."

Saturday Review.—"A book of remarkable power and
 imagination, and a work of distinct and individual merit."

Spectator.—"Mr Wells' fanciful and lively dream is well
 worth reading."

National Observer.—"A tour de force.... A fine piece
