"Of a Book Unwritten" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic.

"The House of Di Sorno: A Manuscript Found in a Box" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic. And the box, Euphemia's.

"On the Art of Staying at the Seaside: A Meditation at Eastbourne" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic.

"Euphemia's New Entertainment" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic. Euphemia has great ideas of putting people at their ease, a thousand little devices for thawing the very stiffest among them with a home-like glow.
