The Wonderful Visit

H. G. Wells

1895

The Wonderful Visit is an 1895 novel by H. G. Wells that blends fantasy and satire, featuring an angel who becomes stranded in Victorian England after being accidentally shot by a vicar. The story explores the clash between the supernatural and the mundane as the angel navigates human existence, grappling with pain, hunger, and societal norms. Through humorous and profound exchanges, Wells critiques the customs and institutions of his time, making this work a notable early example of contemporary fantasy.
