Herbert George Wells (1866—1946) was an English writer. He was prolific in many genres, writing dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, but he is now best remembered for his science fiction novels. "The Wonderful Visit" is the tale of a fallen angel who simply cannot adapt to society in a small English village. As time passes on earth, he becomes more and more human, falling in love and suffering all the human trials and tribulations.
