The wonderfull visit

An angel comes to Earth in this fantastical tale by H. G. Wells When a fallen angel appears in the skies of southern England, the vicar of a small town mistakes the winged being's dazzling plumage for that of a bird and shoots him down. This is only the first misfortune to befall "Mr. Angel," as he comes to be known. "Neither the Angel of religious feeling nor the Angel of popular belief," this celestial visitor quickly draws the ire of the village folk. But as time goes on, the angel becomes more and more human. His wings atrophy, and much to his surprise, he finds himself falling in love.

  • "The tale of an angel who falls to earth, The Wonderful Visit is a charming allegory. The angel's pureness and wholesomeness are bewildering to the villagers, and the angel himself has a difficult time adapting to town life, but as time passes he develops for better or worse human qualities and emotions."

  • "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."@en
