More H. G. Wells
Writing about In the Days of the Comet brought to mind The Truth About Pyecraft, a wonderful little story written by Wells, which was the first thing of his that I ever read, when I was about eight, in one of those anthologies of genre stories (you know, for kids). Marvellous stuff, read it.
In related news, Lee Evans is going to be playing Mr Polly on the telly. Alongside Trigger from Only Fools and Horses. Yikes.
