Reader's note

Best known for his classic science fiction novels, you can see another side to H. G. Wells with this brilliant collection that contains four books in one! Showcasing his lighter side, this is how H. G. Wells chooses to introduce the title character of 'Bealby' - The cat is the offspring of a cat and the dog of a dog, but butlers and lady’s maids do not reproduce their kind. They have other duties. So their successors have to be sought among the prolific, and particularly among the prolific on great estates. Such are gardeners, but not under-gardeners, gamekeepers, and coachmen—but not lodge people, because their years are too great and their lodges too small. And among those to whom this opportunity of entering service came was young Bealby, who was the stepson of Mr. Darling, the gardener of Shonts. - it still manages to make this reader crack a smile. With pale green boards, this title is a wonderful addition to any vintage bookshelf.
