Book Description

In Twelve stories and a Dream, the reader will find a surprising Wells extending your search to the fantastic and humorous to the motley recreation of a common bond that unites characters: the emergence in their lives an unusual event, strange, that leads to the most unexpected and hilarious situations... the rogue who becomes the god of a tribe of savages, the phlegmatic Englishman surprised by a ghost in practices 'round', the psychic researcher whose body is kidnapped by a being from another dimension, the amazing effects of a drug called the "new gas," to the strenuous efforts of the obese Mr. Pyecraft to lose weight...
