What if an angel fell to earth -- and nobody liked him? That's the fascinating premise at the heart of this engrossing fantasy tale from science fiction master H.G. Wells. Penned around the same time Wells captured the world's imagination with novels like The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds, The Wonderful Visit is a satisfying diversion for readers ready to let their imaginations run wild.

A hilarious read. An angel falls to earth, but the story is more prosaic and more riotous than anything Milton could have imagined. It turns out that Victorian England is a special kind of hell for real fallen angels.
