First appearance of an unpublished novel by prolific H.G. Wells (in manuscript ca.1900). This work soon led to Wells' larger novel Kipps (written 1903-4).
NEAR FINE COPY in most respects but someone--a reviewer presumably--has humorously written in ink "Wake up, Harry" and made a minute correction on p.vii, the first page of the Preface by Harry T. Moore, the General Editor of this CROSSCURRENTS series of Modern Fiction Edition; textual editor Matthew Bruccoli. Otherwise, this is a clean, tight, bright copy in a sharp dust jacket. Slight toning to edges of the dj.
