London England: Longmans, Green and Co, 1951. Hardback. Foxing to end inside covers and edge. Slight wear and tear to edges of D/J. Sunned spine to D/J. Price clipped. Thisbook is recommended by The Book Society. This is the first full-length biography of H. G. Wells to appear since his death in 1946. It is the outcome of research and scholarship skilfully combined with imagination, and it achieves a brilliant characterisation of the man and a no less brilliant assessment of his work. From the vast mass of material and evidence which required to be sifted, the author has drawn a picture of H. G. Wells which is very different from the conventional portrait accepted by the millions of people who read his books, and whose lives have been influenced by them. 255 pp. ( We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.). First Edition. Cloth. Good/Fair. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Harback.
